Cudighi is a type of spicy Italian sausage. Get the recipe and do everything else the same. You’ll be impressed
YOOPER LOVE!
Sacrilegious
Nice I always used Italian seasoning with my cudighi sandwiches.
The pepper sauce is fine.
It's the use of the wrong sausage that annoys me.
A cudighi is made with cudighi sausage NOT Italian sausage nice try though still looks good!
Hey Sam…great rendition of the cudighi sandwich. I'm a yooper at heart and location. Definitely making your upgrade with red pepper sauce! Cudighi sausage has a unique flavor compared to typical Italian sausage. Thanx for the tribute! Love your videos❤ Love your channel!!😂
When I get around to trying this, I will use the blended red pepper; but the next time after that, I'm going to blend gardiniere.
Crazy you have a Yooper video
DO IT RIGHT SAMMY. Here is the recipe for the sausage.
Cudighi is a traditional Italian-American sausage that originated in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is typically made from a mixture of ground pork and beef, seasoned with various spices and herbs. Here's a basic recipe for making cudighi:
Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to your desired level of spiciness)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup water (if needed)
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and beef. Mix them together until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and ground nutmeg to the meat mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
If using red wine, pour it into the mixture and continue mixing. The wine adds moisture and flavor, but it is optional.
Add the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley to the mixture. Mix everything together until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
Once the cudighi mixture is ready, you can shape it into patties or form it into logs to fit the size of your buns or rolls.
Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook the cudighi patties or logs for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are cooked through and nicely browned.
Serve the cudighi in buns or rolls with your favorite toppings, such as sautéed onions, peppers, or cheese.
Note: Cudighi is often enjoyed with marinara sauce or as a topping for pizza. You can customize the recipe by adjusting the spices and seasonings according to your taste preferences.
That is not cudighi. Cudighi sausage is made fresh of with:
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 to 1 cup dry red wine
6 garlic cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 clove
Directions:
Have the pork coarse ground and DO NOT have fat trimmed (you want about 25% fat). or put through the meat grinder TWICE at home.
Mix the following ingredients together: salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Work into ground pork with your hands.
Combine wine, cinnamon sticks, garlic and cloves. Boil this mixture for 5 minutes and let completely cool.
Strain this mixture, reserving the liquid and work the liquid into the meat.
Let meat season in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Some serving suggestions:
You can make this into links, patties, or leave in bulk.
Many people use this to make sandwiches the most popular is to top with mozzarella cheese and some spaghetti sauce. You could add some onions, green peppers and mushrooms, too.
Lunch tomorrow is gonna be this!
Italian sausage doesn't make it cudighi. It's a different recipe.
The cudighi is the meat, which is not traditional Italian sausage it has cinnamon, clove, etc. in it, its not the name of the sandwich, well it is I suppose but the meat is cudighi. Also, a popular version is just onion, motz, and mustard. I actually use cudighi as meatballs in my spaghetti lol. So if that's just regular Italian sausage, it is not a Cudighi sandwich at all.
Sounds like a great sandwich but you missed the point! Cudighi refers to the meat and it's not just Italian sausage. It's a special recipe our local Italians have perfected and it's delicious.
Yoopers are definitely rustic!
Y’all need a stormy kromer eh!
Sorry, but you missed all the seasoning that goes into the ground pork patty, and the multi day infusion that makes a Gudighi. Fail !!! Do some more research and try it again.
Most of my recipes are from you
Great grilling recipes! (Language 👎🏻 unnecessary)
I'm a little newer to the channel but this recipe caught my eye. Just made it and it was amazing.
Absolutely loved it with the roasted red pepper sauce instead of tomato. Nice touch, Sam.
Not sure what the pinkish hue is on the videos lately……not a fan. Keep it natural color on the vids please!
I love what you did but cudighi is actually a specific sausage for the sandwich. It's simple to make and what you did would probably complement it quite well. The real sausage uses some red wine, and nutmeg, garlic and either clove or allspice.
You are CLUELESS
As a Former Yooper you also need to know what a Troll is……..LOL
lol paprika and pepper goes well together? who knew! Maybe potatoes go well with potatoes as well after all
I’ve lived in central Michigan my entire life, traveled the U.P. numerous times and I’ve never heard of this sandwich. It’s always been the Pasty in the U.P.
Make or adjust your Italian sausage so that it has a splash of wine and both fennel seed and anise seed before you cook it. All the difference in the world
That looks really good.
Awesome! I’m just seeing this episode now! Glad you took the recommendation! You did great only correction would be it’s Yoopers not Uppers 😂
You absolutely did NOT make a cudighi. You made an Italian sausage sandwich. The actual "cudighi" is a particular recipe of sausage.
Love this show, the cooking, the food, and the t shirts! Just wish there were more vegetables and lighter dishes as most are very heavy…
I wish there were a link to a recipe for each video.
Man I've been subscribed for a while now and somehow missed this. But as someone that grew up in Marquette County (where cudighi originated) it's been a staple since I was young. Only thing I'll add is that what makes it cudighi is the spice blend used in the ground sausage, so it differentiates a little from Italian Sausage, although very close. If you ever find yourself in the Yoop definitely make sure to try a sandwich. This was really cool! Thanks for doing it
Just made some…..Fabulous!
Sam is this in your cookbook ? If it is I’m good to go !!
I lived in the UP for 3 years and never heard of this!
I would really like to see Sam cooking some traditional german food on his way. Like Haxe, or Grützwurst mit Sauerkraut. 😅
That would be fun too.
I'm thrown- this is using just "regular" hot Italian sausage. That isn't what I know of for cudughi sausage…?!
(simple additional thought: Yooper may come from "UP-er", but it's not spelled that way that I've seen. #AdoptedYooper )
If you know. You know.
Sam. What is the yellow flowering tree behind you and to your right? Maybe ask Kelly. 😂
Similar to the Italian Sausage Hoagie my mother used to make when I was a kid. Sauces and condiments to your likings. Father ate them with mustard and onion. I always liked a marinara sauce. Seen people eat them with grease from Patti grilled onion and garlic mayo. Just have to experiment different ways at times. Gonna have to try this way as I love roasted red pepper soup & Italian Sausage.
Yum, soften? Sweat? We call it caramelised or saute
Of the Yoopers I have met, they dont appreciate anything that has too do with California 😂
Michigan is a great place!🇺🇸
And how would you pronounce….. MACKINAC ISLAND in the U.P.⁉ Everyone says it incorrectly. I used to live in Windsor, Canada🇨🇦Across the river from the beautiful city of Detroit. 🇺🇸

Sam just made a sausage parm.
