sausage recipe
This homemade sausage recipe allows you to create delicious and flavorful sausages that are perfect for grilling, frying, or adding to your favorite dishes. Using a blend of spices and herbs, you can customize the flavor to your liking.
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 sausage stuffer if making links
- 1 cooking pan or grill
- 1 meat thermometer optional
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional for spice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried
- ¼ cup cold water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and parsley.
- Pour in the cold water and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- If you have a sausage stuffer, stuff the mixture into casings. Twist into 4-inch links, or alternatively, you can simply shape the mixture into patties using your hands.
- Preheat a cooking pan or grill over medium heat.
- Cook the sausages for about 5-7 minutes on each side (or until internal temperature reaches 160°F) until they are brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
You can adjust the spices to suit your taste. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices.
If you don’t have a sausage stuffer, making patties is an easier option.
These sausages freeze well, so you can double the recipe and store some for later use.
