Italian Sausage

Italian Sausage

This is a recipe from the former Sylvesters Meat Market in Bellevue Ohio.  It was given to me years ago with the promise it would never be shared to be competition with them.  When they were in business, we would order a large amount of sausage from this great meat market. I would make spaghetti sauce and freeze in meal size containers.  That was great "fast food" when our children were young.
