How to form sausage patties?

[jimmyinsd]

If I have a bunch to do, I measure out the meat into 3 oz patties or whatever size I am making, put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to be nice and cold so the fat isnt sticky, then use my patty press with a deli sheet above and below the ball of meat. lay them out on sheets of freezer paper on a cookie sheet and into the freezer for an hour to freeze solid and then vac seal. if i just have bulk sausage and want a couple patties I still ball them and put between to deli sheets, but then I just smash it with a flat bottom pan and call it good enough. I have never tasted shape.

the 1 lb meat bags are the easiest way we have found to make nice round sausages , they look just like the commercial sausage that are in stores and like someone said just cut the patties into what ever thickness you like

Ive rolled it out between 2 pieces of parchment paper on a flat sheet pan and chilled it for a while then used a large biscuit cutter to make the patty

I do this as well.. BUT ... I freeze them and then as they start to thaw out I run the chubs through the slicer for perfect patties every time... quickly throw them back in the freezer to freeze back up and then vacuum seal 6 to a pack... since it's just the wife and I, 6 is plenty for breakfast ..
