Old Houses – homemade sausages

I did do a blog a little while ago about my homemade sausage patties… I had a few questions about so I thought I would revisit the topic with a more detailed post.

So I bought this around two pork sirloin rib roasts, they were on sale $1.88 a pound…. pretty good price.

I cut off as much of the meat and fat into chunks. Set up my meat grinder attachment with the coarse grinding plate. I fed the chopped pork and fat through the grinder twice which I didn’t do the first time but makes a way better ground pork to make patties with.

My recipe came from pinterest…. do not remember who posted it. I tweaked the sage, salt and pepper because I felt it was alot. That’s the beauty of old fashioned living…..making your own food from scratch you control what goes into your food. I got 8 pounds of beautiful ground pork.

I separated the ground pork into two 4 pound batches and I added the spices accordingly. Only difference was I used half the salt and pepper and 1/3 of the ground sage (2 tsp each of salt and pepper and 4 tsp of ground sage) it smells wonderful.

I used my cookies scooper and placed the scoops onto parchment paper. I use parchment and not wax paper because it freezes well and does not stick to the patties like wax paper does. After the patties are frozen I take them off the paper and they go into a freezer bag popped into the freezer to enjoy for a few weeks♡.

This batch made 60 patties, I apologize now for those with ocd as I do not weigh them out or make them all the same size….. I just eyeball a good clump in the scoop and then they get flatten.:)

A package of pork sausages (8 Links) which is enough for one meal for us is $4.99 and I think it weighs just a smidgen over one half pound… so my $19 roasts went a long way. (There was a bone in each of the roasts)

So not only is it awesome to make your own….. it is so much cheaper too♡

Hope that you enjoy the recipe. Have a great day and God Bless.
