Homemade Sausage

I have been using this sausage recipe on our farm for over 30 years. It was sent to me by my husband's grandmother.

Ingredients:

  • 25 lbs. meat
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. sage
  • 2 Tbsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. ground red pepper

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and then sprinkle over meat. Mix thoroughly and grind meat.

In the past few years, I have canned most of my sausage. It lasts much longer than in the freezer.

You can make sausage using a food processor but the meat will be more crumbly and fall apart more easily when you try to shape and cook it than if you use a meat grinder. But some people do it.

A suggestion if you do use the processor, you could add an egg and maybe some bread or cracker crumbs to the ground meat to help the patties hold together.

Liquid smoke is not only a preservative but also a carcinogen.

Recipes for Hot Sausages

I'm looking for recipes that are for a spicier sausage, more like Jimmy Dean's "HOT" sausage roll. It is just spicy not really a hot flavor. If you have any ideas or recipes for this, please send them my way. Thanks in advance.

I think the herb you are looking for is sage for the spicy favor not hot.

Here is a good basic recipe that I have used

Country Sausage
Ingredients:
2 pounds pork steaks, cut into 1" squares
1 pound pork fat, cut into 1" squares
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons dried sage, crumbled or 2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Use medium blade on meat grinder or steel blade with food processor
and grind pork coarsely. Add rest of ingredients and grind or blend again.
Do not process too fine. Shape into patties and sauté over low heat
until browned on both sides and cooked through.
If you don't have a grinder, you can just buy ground pork at the grocery store, and if you like you can use any pork cuts....or even a pork shoulder or butt roast.
Grind it up and proceed with the recipe. This freezes well either in a roll or in patties.
