Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, sausage is the meat that goes with every meal. In fact Americans love sausage so much, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC) estimates people will consume 14 billion servings of it this year or more than 38 million servings per day—and that doesn’t even include the 20 billion hot dogs consumed yearly by Americans that also fall into the larger sausage category.
With Fall in the air and tailgating season in full swing, the sausage love peaks in October as Americans celebrate National Sausage Month. As part of this year’s celebration, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council is highlighting great sausage recipes and inviting sausage fans to submit their own for a chance to win a sausage shopping spree and a new sausage cooking pan.
