Finally, 18# of fresh breakfast sausage! View attachment 278909 View attachment 278910
I'm with you Charlie.
The local grocery store had untrimmed butts for $.99#, limit two.
15# of pork butt ready for the second grind.
10# of Waltons H110C and 5# of Zanzibar Dixie.
I'm trying the Dixie for the first time, so I'm only making 5#.
I'm going to take your suggestion and stuff the sausage into bags, then slice with the meat slicer.

what cut of pork are you using (butts?) Do you buy a packaged seasoning or have you got your own recipe?

Yes, got them on sale for .99 at Food Lion. Don't see many here. This batch I am using 1 Tbsp. per lb of LEM hot seasoning with 1 extra tsp. of sage, and 1 extra tsp. of red pepper flakes, and 1 extra tsp of course black pepper per 5 lbs. Mix in the big LEM lug and run through grinder once. Will try to get pics.

These are the 2# Lem bags. I have a tube that comes off of the grinder that I can stuff them with when Marsha feeds the grinder, much faster!

Note! this is pork sausage, not hamburger.

That's what I did. I ran the meat through a 10mm plate, then added the spices and ground a second time through a 4.5mm plate and stuffed in 2# bags. When I got through, I had a bit of each type of sausage left in the stuffing horn. I mixed them together and cooked it. When I had Karen taste each separately and mixed, she liked the mix better than either type separately. I'll be making 10# of the mix tomorrow.
The Dixie doesn't have any Sage. Neither Karen or I are big fans of Sage. Mixing the two, cut the amount of Sage in the Waltons mix and resulted in a great flavor, at least to us. I did add crushed red pepper to both mixes. I'll be adding more when I combine them tomorrow.

Steve, I think us southern guys are addicted to sage, and black and red pepper, and salt from the old days of curing hams, shoulders, and side meat when smoking the meat with green hickory wood in the old meat house.

You are right about sage and most of the southern guys I know. You'd be hard pressed to find sausage here in a store or restaurant without it. I sure do love sausage. I can eat venison sausage cooked on the grill.

Yep, would love to have you taste sausage. Be it venison or pork. I prefer pork!

I also have a grill.
