Tasty Sausages...

Now... before you lose your last meal or think that I participate in or encourage copraphage, know that nothing that goes into the intake goes into the exhaust and vice versa. These are some sausages I made based on a recipe for a traditional serbian sausage I found and adjusted based on ingredient availability. They look kinda funky, but taste great and a little on the spicy side. Follow the directions and come out with something pretty badass.

1lb Ground Beef

1lb Ground Pork (or turkey, didn't have any pork when I went grocery shopping)

1teaspoon Salt (I like Kosher or Sea, so do a lot of other people apparently)

1teaspoon Ground Cayenne

1teaspoon Baking Soda (no idea what this does, but it's in there, readily available, use it)

2teaspoons Ground Black Pepper (this is where the real heat comes in, next time might add some Ground White Pepper in place of half of the Black, be advised if you're doing this with a pepper grinder, be prepared to go into muscle failure)

4 cloves of Garlic, finely minced (or more if you like)

1/2teaspoon of Paprika

Mix it all up. Like you would making burgers. The mix might actually make interesting burgers, now that I think about it. Roll the mix out in to logs about 4-6" in length and about 3/4-1" thick. A couple of ways to cook these. On the grill or stovetop like you would any other uncased sausage or burger. Or in the oven, 350 degrees for 30 minutes (that's how I did it). Based on the fat runoff, which is why they were pulled immediately a dropped on a papertowel, it might not be a bad idea to do them on a roasting rack.

So that's my sausages. So go forth and freak people out!!

Also, if anybody has a sausage casing system, and wants to stuff this into a case, let me know how it turns out.
