What is Hatfield Recipe Essentials?
I love to use Hatfield products and for good reason too. Hatfield has a range of pork products that are natural, and made from ethically raised pork. I was so excited to see that it had a variety of flavors. The sweet Italian ground sausage, Chorizo ground sausage, the hot Italian ground sausage. They have a flavor profile for everyone. They had run out of the Sage ground sausage so I bought the three flavors available and will be using them for delicious recipes.
