In Game Thread - My first ever batch of sausage (final product pic added to OP)

What kind of stuffer did you use? I tried using the Kitchen Aid attachment once and it didn't work worth a shite.

Never thought I'd be saying this, but your sausage looks great.

I like the way you roll.

Would you share your breakfast sausage recipe?

Since this was my first ever attempt at making sausage, a friend told me they have pre-made seasonings at Cabala’s for different types of sausages, so I bought the breakfast and Italian. After following the directions, I tested them. They both were very bland, so I just added to their mix.

So I don’t have a recipe yet (never gonna buy that shite again).

My smoked sausage was just sea salt, fresh pepper, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt free Tony’s (I know, don’t judge me).

I’d season it very well (granted I was seasoning 10 lbs), take a small piece and pan fry it to test. When it was where I wanted it, I cased it.

Thanks. I see many recipes on the web, but I'm afraid they are gonna be too herby(if thats a word) for us. We always fry a little patty for a taste test, so guess thats what we gotta do.

I do find that garlic powder and fresh garlic have different levels of flavor, so we use both.

its not ideal thats for sure (assuming you have the plastic one like i do). the biggest issue is the stuffing tool. i cut a piece of wood dowel and put a thick rubber band at the end, which works much better

Like I said a few posts ago, I don’t have a recipe yet, but one important thing I learn from YouTube, look a my second photo above. When cutting the Boston butt, trim the fat and grind separately. Do this so when you are measuring out the pork, put 4 lbs of the lean and 1 lb of the fat. This will insure each batch has a good/equal amount of fat. If not, you will have non uniformed links, some dry, some greasy.

Wow! I am unsure what else to say. Wow! The way that looks, it would last maybe a week at my house.

Looks soft

Very pretty.
