Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Casings

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork and ground beef. Mix well until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Spices

    Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to the meat mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Stuffing

  1. 4

    Prepare Sausage Stuffer

    Attach the natural hog casings to a sausage stuffer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 5

    Stuff the Mixture

    Carefully stuff the meat mixture into the hog casings, being careful not to overfill. Tie off the ends securely.

  3. 6

    Prick Air Bubbles

    Use a pin to prick any air bubbles that may have formed in the sausages.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausages

    Preheat your grill or smoker to medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  2. 8

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade jalapeno cheddar sausages!
