Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds ground meat -- room Temperature
1/3 cup onion -- finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh parsley -- finely minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon dried basil -- optional
1 teaspoon dried marjoram -- optional
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

In a deep bowl, combine all ingredients, using hands if necessary. On
wax paper, shape and roll mixture into 2 logs 6 inches long and 2 inches
in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, slice the rolls into rounds about 1/2" thick and fry in a heavy
skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until done.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

An alternate way to prepare sausage is to shape mixture into 50 large
marble-size balls. Freeze if desired. To serve, bake frozen on a rack,
starting in a cold oven for 20 minutes at 325.
