Sausage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the Meats

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

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, and oregano to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Casings

    If using natural hog casings, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to soften. Rinse thoroughly. If using collagen casings, ensure they are ready for use as per package instructions.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer, fill the casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.

  5. 5

    Chill and Cook

    Place the sausages in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. Cook the sausages on a grill or stovetop until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
