Method
Preparation
- 1
Combine Meat
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and pork fatback. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix until the meats are evenly combined.
- 2
Add Spices
In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, sage, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, thyme, and brown sugar. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the meat mixture.
- 3
Mix Thoroughly
Using your hands, mix the spices into the meat until everything is well incorporated. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Add Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water to the meat mixture, mixing continuously until the mixture is sticky and well-blended. This will help in binding the sausage together.

Prepare Sausage Casings
If using natural casings, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. If using synthetic casings, follow the package instructions.

Stuff Sausage Mixture
Fit a sausage stuffer with the appropriate size casing. Carefully stuff the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overfill. Twist the sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.
