Hey Guys! I found the MVP! Thanks @NightRider364!

We cook an entire package of sausage at once, freeze, and microwave one minute at breakfast time. They taste and feel just fine, and we save having to clean up a greasy skillet over and over. Thanks for teaching people that making sausage isn't scary. I grew up in Milwaukee, where fine sausage is appreciated. Many parts of the country have mediocre sausage.

Our tortilla press works wonders on making the patties uniform. Weighing the balls will result in uniform shapes - easiest to wrap same-size patties. Also - you double wrapped w/plastic wrap "to avoid freezer burn" but you will still get FB b/c you left air paces between the plastic wrap and the paper/meat stacks. You need to remove ALL dead-air spaces (via a vacuum machine) to eliminate all air. Freezing first will still allow air spaces to surround the meat, esp since they have 'rough' surfaces, so freezer burn will happen if stored more than a week before using. It's best to layer them - using separator sheets as he did - but EXACTLY the same diameter as the patties, then enclose the stack in total contact w/the freezer wrap. This way there is no meat left with space between the plastic wrap & the meat.

hint: the Dollar store has pre cut squares of parchment that would work perfect for the sausage patties👍... even though Hubs worked as a butcher when we were newly married ...my Dad also taught me how he cut meat so either of us is capable..even though we are now 'senior citizens' we have come back to cutting our own meats, thinking it is time to do our own sausage too considering what the stores are charging these days + the preservatives they put in there........

This channel gets me so pumped to try different meats/methods. Thank you for including the recipes/equipment list in the description!

Suggestion on storing the patties. Freeze the patties on the baking sheet after forming, THEN stack and separate as shown. 😊

I'm new to watching this guy...Lots of great information but I was going to suggest the same thing as you...freeze patties 1st, then you can vacuum seal in serving sizes...I do that with everything...hamburgers, cut up chicken, most of all food prep...freeze first...easier to work with...

That's how I do it. I vacuum seal them also to negate the possibility of freezer burn. If they aren't frozen first then they will be crushed.

Just made this. It is AMAZING. Finally I have a good recipe. Thanks so much!

For some reason your video popped up on my page..Boy am I glad it did! I have never known how to choose a good cut of meat other than look at the marbelling.. so very informative! Thank you..

Great video thanks! Note you can also order pre cut patty paper which is awesome in making patties! One paper down, put meat ball on paper, then add next paper on top, and smash with a small plate to desired thickness. Just a tip thanks for you awesome cost savings videos!

You had me with the "blue cheese crust", now this!!!

Great video. Butcher wizard you are a God send ❤

THANK YOU FOR THE PERFECT INSTRUCTIONS. I MADE SAUSAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT CAME OUT “ FANTASTIC “

Love the videos. Gotta get that whole head in the shots. Thanks for making these videos for the home gamers to get into doing meats at home. We used to do deer meat every winter.

A better way to freeze sausage is to take a sheet pan and line it with parchment paper, then patty out your sausage. A large sheet pan will hold about 6 rows of 4 patties. Then put another layer of parchment on top and repeat until you run out of sausage. We do this every winter and patty out buckets of sausage 25 pounds at a time. Once patted out, put the pan in a deep freezer for at least 24 hours to freeze temper it. Then you can just vacuum seal the patties side by side in a bag and the sealer won't mash them together. I typically do 9 patties to a pack, 3 rows of 3. If I end up with only 5 or 6 patties at the end of a batch, I'll make a bag of that.

Regarding freezing patties. I use burger patty sheets (Amazon), 2 per patty, top and bottom. Stick in freezer till frozen. I then stick the frozen patties into a vacuum pack bag and vacuum the patties. For burgers i do 2 per package for the 2 of us. Vacuum packing the frozen patties keeps the patties from getting squished. Great video thx!!

What brand of grinder is that?? 😊

When I'm partitioning meat for storage, I use a vacuum sealer. It sucks all the air out so it can be freezer stored for a long time.

I like some fennel in mine, and red bell pepper(fresh). Jimmy dean never made sausage like this! Bob Evans made some real good sausage!

Thanks!

What size grinder is that??

Where did the link go for the meat grinder? Nice video by the way.

I have a #8 grinder I bought from Cabelas. It was expensive but it will process about 5-7 lbs a min. Prior to this I only had a kitchen aid attachment and it took forever to grind just a couple pounds let alone grinding it twice and lets not mention cleaning the thing after you're done. Basically if I'm breaking out the grinder I am going to grind at least 10 Lbs of meat to store and probably make sausages, meat balls and patties. For a 1-2 lb product you could use the food processor but you will just have to make sure you pulse it and do not take it too far. You will have to do multiple small batches but it will work.

@Farmboyjason

Expensive? You don't have much of a grinder lol. That's not much bigger than your kitchen aid lol. If at all.

I make my own sausage now and then. 25lbs at a time. I use Old Plantation sausage mix, Legg;s No.6. Grind it then weigh it to 1 pound packages then freeze and get out a package at t time for myself, it will last me a week till I get out the next package. Got a sealing machine, taking the air out of bags so it will last longer in freezer.

What size plate is that??

This is great. In the store you can find sausage with extra sage, or sausage with extra spice (hot). I like my sausage with extra sage and extra spice. That said, the price of spices these days holds me back a bit...

Traditionally, butchers put a tiny bit of sugar (not enough to affect taste) to encourage browning

So I didn't need to ground up pork but thank you for the Ingredients for me I would make it a tad bit sweet and spicy, thank you so much.

URL for the meat grinder?

I just did this for the first time with just a Kitchen Aid grinder attachment but I think I made a mistake by grinding with the larger die first, then the middle die next. Then I used the mixer attachment to get some protein extraction but that made it a bit too much like SPAM for my taste. I like the idea of grinding twice but with the larger die. I'll try that next time. Also the spices before grinding the first time is a new one. Not seen that before.

I have a slider mold that would be perfect for this application.

Is there a manual grinder that you suggest? I live in a small space and I would like to try grinding my own meat but I’m not ready to spend the higher price for a grinder I cannot store after using it.

I found a copy cat recipe that has clove powder... it really makes the sausage have this aromatic savory flavor to it!

I have learned that the thinner the patty, the more I like it. Almost like sausage chips but not that thin...

Is it easier to mix spices in after you grind it just curious? Thank you

I love your recipe. I have the same meat grinder, but I put all metal tools in the dishwasher and lost all that silver coating. Is it still safe to use a grinder?

What about vacuum ceiling?

Love your videos!! Didn't see the recipe?

Where’s the link for the meat grinder?

One sausage patty between two frozen waffles with a scrambled egg. Syrup to taste.

Making sausage is so rewarding and addictive. You will quickly find yourself making a multitude of different sausages.

Hey, you could make little luminaries out of that paper for Halloween..

First time grinder here, great info. Ground my first pork butt yesterday with kitchen aid grinder. Made your breakfast sausage and plain ground pork as well. On my second grind it was really mushy and took a while to do it. The meat was cool to the touch, should it have been more cold? The first grind went good just the second one.

I've always done this with pork loin, but, of course, it's a lot leaner (Costco $2/lb; I don't remember how much their butts are). I like the idea of using a Boston butt for a higher percentage of fat. I've never added spices as I always just grinder it to use in recipes calling for sausage, but I will try your recipe the next time I grind. Breakfast patties would be a nice change of pace. I use the grinder attachment on my Kitchen-aid stand mixer.

Can you do a show on how to make beef tallow, and how to store it. Thank you.

Thanks Brother. I had just broke down a pork loin (as per your video) added in venison and 30% by weight of the pork fat for it with an equal amount of cubed pork. And it came out great.

My Grandmother used a manual grinder unti she was 84 and probably used it a few hours a day three days a week after granpa retired. She would use a huge grinder for six hours a day, six days a week when my Grandfather had his smoked meats shop in the 20's and 30's. Everyting was made and smoked on the premises. Perhaps that is why she was not overweight? Why does everything here in the USA have to be electric and expensive. Can you post the recipe so we have a starting point? I would not consider the bother and start up expense of grinding my own, but I find that store bought has insane amounts of salt so I'm thinking of giving this a try.

How is this mix for sausage gravy? It looks pretty lean from the grease left in the pan.

Curing salt (#1) is added for two reasons, first reason is safety if smoking the product. Second is color retention and more of an umami flavor. Curing salt #2 is used when making a dried sausage like the salami/pepperoni mentioned by other commentator. If smoked flavor is desired, but smoker not available, LIQUID SMOKE can be added while mixing in spice blend.

@ButcherWizard

Pork butt is actually the shoulder. Hams are the rump or back leg portion of the pig. You can find fresh picnic hams that haven’t been smoked or cured. The hams are more tough than the shoulder by the way. Thanks for watching.

@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649

7 ай бұрын

Picnic hams have way more connective tissue, e.g. collagen, which makes it less desirable for this type of sausage but great for liverwurst and is also good for making headcheese or meat jelly presentations when one either cringes at the thought of eating head meat 😂 or can't find it in their area.

Hint: Cut this recipe in half and you have a per pound season recipe. Makes conversion for 1 - 10 lbs really easy. I do a country sausage using this method, different spices. I use a hand meat grinder so I get my workout at the same time!

for 70/30 where was the fat in the pan when you cooked it?

Another way to test sausage is take a teaspoon full and give it a quick microwave.
