My First Go at Sausage
« Reply #-1 on: February 13, 2017, 03:29:26 PM »
I have been wanting to start making sausage for ages! Today was my first attempt. And I chickened out on the stuffing and made it into 1/4lb patties. The sausage recipe I used came from Rytek Kutas' fine book, Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing. Rytek said in the book that his favorite Italian sausage is Sicilian-Italian Sausage with Wine and Cheese. I figured if it was good enough for him, well it should be quite good enough for me! :D  Recipe was given in 25lb and 10lb  amounts, I did a 5 lb batch.
Next time stuffing..... ???

Great job Gene! The patties look good.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with taking sausage making one step at a time.  Get comfortable with each step, then move on.

My first were clone Jimmy Dean patties. I still make them for breakfast sausages.

Awesome Gene! I am little confused when you said stuffing. The finished pictures look like they are in casings and not patties?

That last pic Mike is a 1/4 lb patty. I used my burger-maker which has ridges to collect juices as it cooks. But you're right, it does kinda look like a sausage rope!

Dat explains it!  ;) I have a 3 slot 1/4 patty burger maker that has the same ridges, maybe the same.
