Greetings We got our pork today -- son number 2 came home from college for the evening and we made sausage. 10# of meat per batch. Thanks to everyone that provided chorizo recipes -- I sorta 'bastardized' what you gave me to make my own. Nels in ND Sausage Recipes 10# ground meat (60 - 40 split pork/beef) I put the dry ingredients in a blender to grind and blend the spices. Put the seasonings over ground meat, mix by hand, pour approximately one cup hot water over mixture and mix some more. I packaged the meat in about 1 pound packages.
