Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings

    Soak the natural hog casings in water for at least 30 minutes to make them pliable. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.

  2. 2

    Make the Sausage Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork fat, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, cumin, and brown sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water to the meat mixture, mixing continuously until it becomes sticky and well combined.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Casings

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the prepared casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends with kitchen twine.

  5. 5

    Let it Rest

    Place the stuffed sausages on a rack in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    Preheat a grill or smoker to medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
