Hi guys I just got a meat grinder and I was waondering do any of you have recipes for sausage. Any recipe is welcome. Thank you and have a nice day.
 
roytax,
Here's a recipe Elk hunter and I make, so I thought you may want to try it. It is very good.

Italian Sausage
5 pound batch

5 pounds venison or elk burger
25% suet
3teaspoon Fennel Seeds
4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
2 ½ teaspoon Salt
3 cloves fresh Garlic
1 ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper (black pepper)
4 oz. Parmesan Cheese
1 chopped Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Basil
½ Onion
2 tablespoon Sugar
1 ½ teaspoon Ground Red Pepper

Mix with burger - add water to help moisten and help marinade - add to a mushy consistency
Cover and let sit in fridge for 24 hours

Stuff into skins or use loose like burger

Note:This was originally made with 15%suet and felt it was too dry so I increased it to 25%. When we make it we do it in 50 lb. batches. I also cut back on the hot peppers as others said it was a little too hot. This is my own recipe made up from a combination of 4 different recipes. Hope you enjoy it.

We used to make Italian sausage and Chorizo out of the wild pigs. I'll get the recipes from my brother. The chorizo was more like taco meat than the chorizo you buy in the store. We loved it in breakfast burritos in hunting camp! Chorizo, onions, scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa...all wrapped up in a warm tortilla...YUM!
 
Suet is hard fat, usually found around the kidneys and loins. 25% suet would mean 3 pounds of meat and 1 pound of suet. I used to add between 10 and 20 percent fat and suet to my ground wild pig meat. Without it, it was as dry as toast.
 
You should be able to get some good suet from your local supermarket, probably at no charge. I get mine from my local processor and pay $1 per pound as the local market here no longer gives it away. Where ever you choose to get it, ask them to grind it up for you. It is free and their grinders do it a lot easier and a lot faster. Also try to stay away from pork fat as it breaks down in the freezer and will only lasts a few months. I always use beef fat and have had it in the freezer for over a year with no problems.
 
Here Ya go RoyTax


Venison Oven Sausage
