Looks good Disco! How does the Kitchen Aid attachment work? Mumma has the mixer and I have been on the fence about buying the meat grinder/pastamaker combo package but haven't been able to pull the trigger without knowing if they are worth the $100 or so.
So you like the jerky? I've been thinking about trying it.
Thanks, Olmy. The meat grinder works ok and does what I need for grinding but don't use it for stuffing sausage. It is like getting a root canal by a proctologist.
If you are just going to be grinding small amounts of meat fine. If you are going to stuff sausage, get a dedicated sausage stuffer. I love my LEM stuffer.

think I will try a batch without the casing. Pops recipe? can you send e that link. Thanks Disco.
I really like Pops Country Sausage Recipe. I have made it a couple of times and it remains my favourite sausage recipe. However, I was given a box of Hi Mountain Original Mountain Man Sausage Seasonings. I am too cheap not to try them.
I put all my grinding and stuffing equipment outside. Why outside? It was way colder outside than my freezer.
I had purchased a 5 1/2 pound butt roast but they had trimmed a lot of the fat. So I made it up to six pounds with fat I had trimmed from a prior pulled pork project. I cut it into 1 inch cubes.
I measured the 1/4 cup of seasonings called for in the recipe. I then put a layer of cubes in a bowl and sprinkled some of the seasonings on them. I the rest of the meat in layer by layer seasoning as I went along.
I added the last of the seasoning and tossed well. I put the meat outside to chill for 1/2 hour. Then I set up the Kitchen Aid grinder with the smallest grinding plate and ground the meat.
I added 1 1/2 cups of water as per the recipe in the box. I formed a patty for a test fry and put the rest of the meat outside to remain cold.
The test fry was good so I went on to form the sausage. She Who Must Be Obeyed prefers casingless sausages so I ran the sausage through my stuffer onto a cookie sheet and cut them to length.
I then put the sausages outside to freeze up a little. Then I wrapped them in packages of 8 in cellophane and then put the packages in large Ziploc bags to freeze.
The verdict: I really like Pops recipe and it will continue to be my basic sausage recipe but these are very good. A nice touch of salt with a low level spicy taste that lingers on the tongue. Definitely a nice product. I will use it occasionally for variety.

Dave has you covered.
I really think this should be a sticky from the number of people I see making it. Just saying.
