Sausage Recipes

These recipes can be used with any recently ground meat.

Optional: Add about 15 percent lard or pork fat to sausage. We prefer not to use fat but it is drier!

For All Recipes:
Combine all dry ingredients and stir well.
Sift dry ingredients into meat with clean washed hands like you would with bread dough.
Run through grinder again if you wish. Sausage Casing may also be used but it is less expensive to form and flatten patties, package in freezer bags and freeze.
