Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork fat. Make sure to mix them thoroughly until well combined.

2. Add Seasonings

To the meat mixture, add minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Mix everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.

3. Incorporate Cold Water

Gradually add the cold water to the meat mixture. Use your hands to mix it in until the mixture is slightly sticky and holds together.

4. Prepare Hog Casings

Rinse the hog casings under cold water, then soak them in water for about 30 minutes. This will make them more pliable for stuffing.

5. Stuff the Sausages

Using a sausage stuffer, carefully stuff the meat mixture into the hog casings, being careful not to overstuff them. Tie off the ends of the sausages with kitchen twine.

6. Prick the Sausages

Use a needle or a sharp knife to prick small holes in the sausages. This will help release any air bubbles during cooking.

7. Cook the Sausages

Grill, pan-fry, or bake the sausages over medium heat until they are fully cooked, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

8. Serve

Once cooked, allow the sausages to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Texas Red Hot Sausage!
