Ok, since the season is coming up I've been thinking about the good eat's we're going to be having soon. I thought I'd share this secret recipe I make every year to feed my family on Christmas morning. Just make sure you don't tell anyone else 'cause it's a secret you know... :shifty My kids love this and it's gone pretty much in a day or two after I make it. You can use it in chili or just patty it up and eat it with eggs & pancakes. Enjoy.
Grandpa’s Old Fashion Venison Sausage
4lbs Venison
1lb Pork Fat
2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced (you can use fresh or just get the jarred stuff)
2 Tsp Black Pepper
2 Tsp Chili Powder
2 Tsp Cayenne (more or less depending on the heat you want)
2 Tsp Marjoram
2 Tsp Thyme
2 Tsp Basil
4 Tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Sage
Cut meat and fat into chunks, add seasonings, and grind with a medium cutting plate. If desired you may a add 6 Tbsp of ice water to the meat to give a soft consistency and stuff into hog casings. Otherwise store sausage in quart sized Ziploc freezer bags. Serve by making small patties and frying them up in a skillet. Great with eggs and pancakes! Or to use in chili, spaghetti, casseroles, etc.
Sounds very similar to my "breakfast sausage"
I don't measure anything, but I use:
Rubbed sage
salt
black pepper
red pepper
paprika
When I do "Italian sausage" :
Omit the sage and add fennel seed
red wine
fresh chopped parsley
shredded mozzarella cheese
The top one makes the best biscuits & gravy you ever had. Make you slap yo grandma

Haha, Yeah mine makes a mighty good gravy too :>) I don't think I'd slap my grandma over it though because she was a tough old bird. She was about 95lbs of piss and vinegar and she would slap you right back and make you say 'mam! Oh yeah, she could cook good too.
Dave that was done by a processor here locally. I ate some this morning myself
