Sausage Ingredients

Method

Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the casings

    Soak the natural hog casings in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using. Rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Mix the meat and spices

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Add ice water

    Gradually add the ice water to the meat mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture is sticky and well combined.

  4. 4

    Stuff the casings

    Fit a sausage stuffer with the soaked hog casings and carefully fill them with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends securely.

  5. 5

    Cook the sausages

    Grill, pan-fry, or bake the sausages until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) and are browned on the outside.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice and serve the sausages hot, or cool and refrigerate for later use.
