How to make Sausage EZ!


First: Cube your meat into about 1" pieces. You will need 1 piece of fat for every 2 pieces of meat. This does not need to be exact.



Second: Add your spices, mix them thoroughly with the fat and meat.

Third: Grind your meat and fat, using 1 fat per 2 meat.

*Fourth:Stuff your sausage into the casings.
