Meat Mixture

Other Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Combine Meats

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and pork fatback. Mix well until evenly distributed.

Seasoning the Mixture

  1. 2

    Add Spices

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, ground sage, and thyme to the meat mixture. Combine thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Incorporating Water

  1. 3

    Mix in Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water to the seasoned meat mixture. Use your hands to mix until the meat is sticky and well combined.

Preparing the Casings

  1. 4

    Soak Hog Casings

    Rinse the hog casings under cold water to remove any salt. Soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften.

Stuffing the Sausage

  1. 5

    Stuff the Casings

    Fit a sausage stuffer with the prepared hog casings. Carefully stuff the meat mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill. Tie off the ends of the casings securely.

Cooking the Sausage

  1. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet or on a grill, cook the sausages over medium heat until they are browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Remove the sausages from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
