Rinse the hog casings under cold water. Soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes prior to stuffing.

Stuff the Sausages
Using a sausage stuffer, carefully stuff the casings with the sausage mixture. Make sure not to overstuff, as they may burst while cooking. Tie off the ends of the casings securely.
