Stuffing the Sausage (if using casings)
If you are using pork casings, rinse them under cold water and soak them in water for about 30 minutes. Fit the sausage stuffer with the casing and fill it with the meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist sausages into desired lengths.

Shaping the Sausage (if not using casings)
If you are not using casings, simply form the meat mixture into patties or logs, ensuring they are compact.
