I bought a small bag of this to try with some ground pork. All of the commercial sausage I've tried has been very disappointing to me - lots of gristle, too much sage, no flavor, too hot, etc. etc. So I decided to try my own with Penzey's help. I had my local Basha's grocery store grind up 2 one pound packages of pork butt (I thought pork loin would be too dry). I prepared one pound yesterday and tried it this morning. My wife wasn't too sure it would taste good because she wasn't getting the good sausage aroma as she fried it in the CI skillet. However, it turned out great! Great flavor (in our opinion), not hot and the meat was free of gristle and bone... perfect! I'll continue to buy this seasoning from Penzey's and make my own sausage patties as long as this stuff is available. It only requires 1 TB per pound of ground pork, so it goes a long way. If you like hot sausage, it's easy to add more spice to the recipe but I like it as is.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with my friends here on TVWBB!
