Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Meat Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and pork fat. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Spices

    In a separate bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Add Spices to Meat

    Sprinkle the spice mixture over the meat mixture in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Finalizing the Sausage

  1. 4

    Incorporate Ice Water

    Slowly pour in the ice water into the meat and spice mixture. Mix until the mixture is sticky and well combined, ensuring not to overwork it.

  2. 5

    Shape Sausage Patties

    Using your hands, form the sausage mixture into patties of your desired size, typically about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage patties for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).

  4. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade country sausage!
