"A famed New York classic with deep Italian roots.”

Talk about a sausage with history, it doesn’t get much better than the classic hot Italian sausage. Made from high-quality ground pork and our own proprietary blend of seasoning, spices, and “that special something,” our house made, hand-twisted hot Italian sausages come four to a pack, frozen at their freshest and ready for your grill! 4 pce/pkg frozen.

Goes Great With...

Of course, the party favourite is sausage and peppers! You can always throw our spicy Italian sausage between a bun—the flavour stands on its own! Here are a few other delicious items and drinks to pair with your hot Italian sausage:

1. Spicy marinara sauce: One of the classic pairings for hot Italian sausage is a robust and spicy marinara sauce. Our sausages are bursting with flavour, and when simmered in a rich, homemade marinara sauce, they become even more irresistible. The combination of the sausage's zesty kick and the tangy tomato goodness of the sauce is a match made in heaven.
2. Crusty Italian bread: To complete your hot Italian sausage experience, serve it on a bed of freshly baked, crusty Italian bread. The crunchy exterior and soft interior of the bread provide a delightful contrast to the sausage's juicy, flavorful center. It's the perfect vehicle for enjoying every last bite of your delicious sausage.
3. Pair with wine: For an extra touch of sophistication, consider pairing your Hot Italian Sausage with a glass of red wine. The sausage's spiciness pairs wonderfully with the fruity and robust notes of a good red wine, creating a harmonious dining experience.

Our Preferred Preparation for Hot Italian Sausage 

When it comes to preparing our hot Italian sausage, we have a preferred method that guarantees mouthwatering results every time. It's all about taking the time to savour the flavours and textures that sausages from The Butcher Shoppe have to offer.

To start, we highly recommend thawing your hot Italian sausage in advance. This step is essential to ensure that the sausages cook evenly and retain their juiciness throughout the grilling process. Simply transfer the sausages from the freezer to the refrigerator a few hours before you plan to cook them. This gradual thawing allows the sausages to maintain their quality and flavour.

Now, onto the main event: grilling. Preheat your grill to medium-low heat, creating the perfect environment for these delectable sausages to shine. The gentle heat ensures that the sausages cook through without burning on the outside, allowing the flavours to develop fully.

Cook the sausages covered on a baking sheet until they achieve that desirable golden-brown hue. The result? Sausages that are succulent on the inside and beautifully charred on the outside.
