Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Hog Casings
Rinse the hog casings under cold water to remove excess salt. Soak in a bowl of warm water for at least 30 minutes. This will make them pliable for stuffing.

Combine the Meats
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and pork fat. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the meats.

Add Seasonings
To the meat mixture, add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, dried sage, dried thyme, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until all seasonings are evenly incorporated.

Add Ice Water
Slowly mix in the ice water to the meat mixture. This will help to keep the sausage moist and aid in the stuffing process.

Stuff the Casings
Carefully slide one end of the soaked hog casing onto the nozzle of the sausage stuffer. Tie a knot at the open end of the casing. Fill the casing with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill. Leave some space at the end to tie off the casing.

Tie Off the Sausage
Once filled, twist the sausage into links every 6 inches and tie off the ends with kitchen twine or by twisting the casings. Repeat until all the meat mixture is used.
