Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pork fat, diced habanero peppers, shredded Fontina cheese, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Casings

    Rinse the natural sausage casings under cold water and soak them in water for about 30 minutes. This will make them more pliable for stuffing.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist the sausages into links of about 1/3 lb each and tie off the ends with kitchen twine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Grill or pan-fry the sausages over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and have a nice browned exterior.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of sides or condiments.
