Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casing

    Soak the hog casings in water for at least 30 minutes before use. Rinse well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork and pork fat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and sage. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water to the meat mixture, mixing with your hands until well combined and slightly sticky.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Casings

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist sausages into links of your desired size, tying ends securely.

  5. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage links for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your savory large sausage links!
