All Beef Sausage

[bill ace 350]

Have 10lbs 85/15 ground beef in the freezer I need to use.

What are some of your favorite all beef linked sausage recipes?

I don't have a favorite recipe per se but I like the classic smoked beef sausage profile. That's what I'd do.

Thanks. More interested in fresh sausage, should have specified

I used SPG on the last all beef I did.

BA350, I'm more of a pork/venny sausage guy so no beef recipes to share. My two cent input would be that you'd need a binder with a 85/15 ratio. It seems a bit lean IMHO.

I've made this a couple of times and it's not bad.
From one of Rytek Kutas' books:
"Kosher style beef sausage"
5# ground beef ( I used 80/20. 85/15 might be a bit lean. Maybe throw in a little pork butt or something to get some fat).
1/2 tb white pepper
1/2 tb nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tb thyme
1/2 tb sage
1.5 tb sugar
2.5 tb salt (too much salt for me. I used 1 tsp of Accent aka MSG and 1 tb of Kosher).
Ice water as needed
Do a double grind and throw in a binder of some sort before stuffing, like Soy Protein Concentrate
or powdered milk.
It's a bland sausage by itself but is good in stews.
Of course you could spice it up a little :)
