Meat Mixture

Casings (optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings (if using)

    If you are using hog casings, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to soften. Rinse thoroughly before using.

  2. 2

    Mix the Meats

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and pork fat. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Seasonings

    Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Add-ins

    Stir in the diced jalapeño peppers and shredded cheddar cheese until fully integrated into the meat mixture.

Stuffing (if using casings)

  1. 5

    Stuff the Sausages

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the soaked hog casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill. Twist sausages into links of desired size.

  2. 6

    Tie Off the Ends

    Tie off the ends of each sausage link using kitchen twine to secure them.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausages

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are well-browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

  2. 8

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sausages from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade jalapeño cheddar sausages!
