Deep Lake Trading Company Butcher's Blend Country Sausage Seasoning 8 oz — No MSG, Seasons up to 25 lb

Deep Lake Trading Company's Butcher's Blend Country Style Sausage Seasoning is a small‑batch, no‑MSG spice mix that seasons up to 25 pounds of meat for classic country breakfast sausage and wild game.

Bring a traditional butcher-shop flavor to your kitchen with this ready-to-use seasoning packet. Crafted in small batches, the blend is formulated to create the savory, slightly herbaceous profile home sausage makers expect—without added MSG. It’s balanced to work across pork, venison, elk, and mixed fattier cuts, delivering consistent results whether you’re stuffing casings, forming patties, or making bulk ground mixes.

How much seasoning should I use for reliable results?

Start conservatively and increase to taste. The recommended starting point is 1.5–2 teaspoons per pound of ground meat; mix thoroughly and pan-fry a small test patty to evaluate seasoning before finishing the full batch.

• Standard starting ratio: 1.5–2 tsp per pound of meat
• Packet yield: seasons up to 25 pounds total
• Adjust by adding up to 0.5 tsp per pound for stronger flavor
• Test with a cooked patty before bulk processing or stuffing

Which meats and preparations pair best with this blend?

The formula is tuned for classic country sausage profiles and complements a wide range of proteins. It performs especially well with pork shoulder and fattier cuts, and it adapts to lean wild game by balancing savory and herb notes.

• Ideal for pork shoulder, butt, and ground pork
• Great for venison, elk, and other wild game when combined with a bit of fat
• Use for patties, breakfast links, bulk sausage mixes, or sausage stuffing
• Suitable for pan-frying, grilling, or slow-cooking applications

How does the seasoning behave with different fat ratios?

The blend is formulated to remain balanced across typical sausage fat levels. Leaner meats may need added fat (like pork fat or bacon) to achieve the traditional mouthfeel, while fattier mixes usually require no adjustments beyond seasoning level.

• Lean game: add 10–20% fat for juicier texture
• Medium fat (20–25%): works as-is with recommended seasoning
• High fat: reduce added oils; maintain recommended seasoning amounts
• Mix thoroughly to ensure even spice distribution

What should I expect in terms of flavor and ingredients?

Butcher's Blend offers a savory, traditional country sausage character—herbal and peppery with warm spice notes—without synthetic flavor enhancers. Small‑batch production aims for consistency and a clean label approach with no MSG added.

• Classic savory profile with herb and pepper highlights
• No MSG listed on the packet
• Made in small batches for consistent seasoning performance
• Designed to enhance, not overpower, the taste of the meat

Who is this for? Home cooks, backyard butchers, and hunters who want an authentic, old‑fashioned country sausage flavor without having to assemble individual spices will appreciate this packet. It’s useful for weekend meal prep, seasonal wild-game processing, and small commercial kitchens seeking a dependable, no‑MSG seasoning that makes up to 25 pounds of sausage mix.
