I believe in the wisdom of using a wine that you'd be happy to drink for cooking, rather than an inferior one. I use a Chianti for this sausage and herb sauce.Jennifer Storment, Belgrade, Montana Ingredients:
2 pounds bulk pork sausage |
1 pound johnsonville® mild italian sausage links links, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
5 garlic cloves, minced |

3 teaspoons each italian seasoning and dried oregano |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon each dried thyme, marjoram and rosemary, crushed |
2 bay leaves |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
