Notes

You can substitute melted butter or olive oil for the bacon fat, if desired.
To make Bacon fat: fry a pound of bacon and remove the bacon to a plate. Use the remaining fat in pan.
You may freeze the sausage raw or cooked. Just use a freezer-safe wrapping or container.
You may add more cayenne for spicy sausage, or add brown sugar for sweeter flavor. 
You may omit the Italian seasoning and add sage for a different flavor.
