Does making your own sausages and ground meat blends sound like it might be fun? If so, you should consider getting a meat grinder.
I have the Cabela’s Pro Series DC Meat Grinder, and I’ve been very happy with it. It comes with three sausage funnels as well as a fine and a coarse cutting plate. With this grinder, you can make anything from thin meat snack sticks to large Italian sausages.
I use these hog casings to make the sausage link recipes on the site. They’re pretty easy to use with the meat grinder, and they rarely break.
Do you like to buy in bulk? You can grind sale cuts of meat and freeze them so they’ll be ready to use in recipes later.
You can also use your grinder to help modify your diet. For instance, make lighter ground beef or ground pork blends by mixing some chicken in. Several of the sausage recipes below are made lower calorie and lower fat with the addition of some chicken.
