- 1 Tbs Kosher Salt
- 2 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Directions
- (Other things you will want to have on hand: two large bowls, sharp knife, plastic wrap, cookie sheet, scale)

- Attach meat grinder to the mixer. Make sure to oil moving parts with vegetable oil.
When meat is chilled, turn on mixer to half power. Place clean, chilled bowl under meat grinder opening.

While meat is chilling, lay 2 pieces of plastic wrap across the counter. Overlap them slightly to create a temporary casing until frozen.
- Remove sausage and divide into 2 large sections.
- Place sausage in the middle of the side by side plastic wrap. Form into a tube shape. Wash your hands.
- Fold one side of the plastic wrap over the sausage and press roll back against itself remove air bubbles against the plastic wrap.
- Roll sausage in remaining plastic wrap and close the ends.
Refrigerate or freeze immediately.
When you make your own pork sausage, you are the one controlling the fat content. Pork Sausage with good flavor must contain a small amount of fat, around 12% is smart.
When you are grinding the meat yourself, you can choose better cuts of meat instead of meat that is already ground whereby it is unknown exactly what cuts of meat were used.
