When making sausage, the more fat you can arrive your meat, the improve. If yous are using a leaner beef or pork, add bacon so you don't stop upwards with a tough/dry sausage. It is absolutely key to accept your meat very cold and grinder parts chilled. The procedure will be way easier if you take this advise, otherwise it tin can support in the meat grinder and leave you frustrated and discouraged (been there, washed that!).

Recipe Notes:

*I used boneless state way ribs. Any pork cut wth a lot of fat would work well.

*Utilise a well marbled beef with college fat content. This beefiness bottom round was on the leaner side so I added the salary.

**Casings tin exist purchased online or at your local butcher. Leftover salted casings can exist resealed in their purse and stored in the refrigerator for many years.

How to Bake Homemade Sausage:

Line a large rimmed blistering dish or roasting pan with parchment paper, trimming paper then it doesn't hang over the edges. Arrange sausage over paper and bake in preheated oven at 350˚F for 1 hour. Drain off excess liquid. Flip the sausage over and bake 5 min. Flip sausage over again and broil additional 5 min or until browned.

How to Grill Sausages:

For Easter, my hubby grilled the sausage and we put them in a deep roasting pan in a single layer, poured in ane/4″ deep of beer and sprinkled i tsp mustard seeds into the liquid. My husband placed the pans on the grill covered for 20 minutes over medium/high oestrus, flipping over halfway. And so he removed the pans and transferred the sausage directly over the grill to brown the outsides (5 min per side). The sausages were supremely juicy and succulent!
