Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings

    Soak the pork casings in water for at least 30 minutes to make them pliable. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt.

Mixing

  1. 2

    Combine Meats

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef. Mix well until the meats are evenly incorporated.

  2. 3

    Add Cheese and Peppers

    To the meat mixture, add the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeño peppers. Mix until evenly distributed.

  3. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Stuffing

  1. 5

    Stuff the Casings

    Carefully slide one end of the soaked casing onto a sausage stuffer attachment. Fill the casing with the meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the open end securely.

  2. 6

    Form Sausages

    Twist the filled casing at intervals to form individual sausages. Tie off the ends securely.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausages

    Grill or pan-fry the sausages over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and have a nice browned exterior.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Remove sausages from heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them on a bun, with mustard, or on their own!
