Basic Homemade Country Sausage. 1 ingredients. 2 pounds lean pork shoulder or butt. 1/2 pound pork fatback. 3 teaspoons kosher salt. 1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 1 1/2 ... 2 directions. 3 nutrition.
Kitchen Aid has a meat grinder attachment for its stand mixers which makes this a breeze. Trim any excess fat from the pork and cut into chunks. Place the meat through a meat grinder. Combine the ground meet and remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Shape the sausage into patties.
It is best to make sausage using minced meat, which you buy in the stores, or mince it yourself. Using beef, pork, chicken, goat, lamb, turkey, duck, quail, mutton, and even fish, crab, or lobster, all will be a perfect fit.
Shape the sausage into patties. The sausage can be cooked immediately but for best flavor wrap the sausage patties in plastic wrap and freeze for 1-2 weeks. Thaw before cooking.
