Sausage Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Sausage (Optional)

    If using sausage casings, rinse them thoroughly and soak in water for about 30 minutes. Fit a sausage stuffer attachment to your mixer or use a manual stuffer. Fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends with kitchen twine.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    If not using casings, form the sausage mixture into patties or logs, about 1/2 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Cook the sausage patties or links for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade sausage with your favorite sides!
