Use A Meat Grinder And Stuffer To Make Homemade Sausage

Many meat grinder models come with sausage making attachments or stuffers that allow you to transform your machine into a sausage maker. Popular grinder brands like Waring Pro and Weston offer these attachments as additional features. How do you use a stuffer? First, use your grinder to make the ground meat mixture. Simply cut your meat into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch slices, add desired spices and grind in your unit. Note, the fat content of the meat should be at least 25% to 35%. Secondly, follow these steps to easily make homemade sausage:

Place the attachment or tube, that will be used to extrude the mixture through, on the grinder's sausage ring, or feed screw or feed head if there is no ring, and tighten. Many appliances have small and large sausage attachments and tubes to allow for different sized sausage links. Slide the sausage casing, that the sausage mixture will be extruded into, over the end of the sausage attachment. Leave at least 2 inches of the casing's end hanging over the end of the attachment. Put the previously ground sausage mixture into the hopper and turn the meat grinder on. Use the unit's pusher to force the sausage mixture into the hopper. Use the pusher until the mixture appears and extrudes out of the end of the sausage attachment. While extruding the sausage, keep the casing moist by watering it frequently. Continue extruding until the casing is approximately 2 inches from being full. Turn the machine off. Twist the sausage filled casing at various intervals to make the sausage link sizes desired.
