Mexican Pork Sausage
Chorizo Commercial chorizo is often very greasy. It's easy to make flavorful chorizo with less fat at home and freeze it in portions to be used as needed. This is the pork sausage preparation that I use in recipes calling for chorizo. No casings are required since the chorizo will be cooked in your recipe like any other ground meat.
