Best advice you have had all day.What type of sausage is it? Smoke sausages usually use a little more salt than fresh sausages.
The easiest way to change a recipe is to convert everything to grams. Then you figure out the percentage ratios of spices to meat. Now you can adjust up or down and dial it in.
Chili mac – hot dog sauceGo ahead and post recipe, much easier to help, otherwise we are pretty blind

its a hot dog sauce recipe i want to turn into sausageThis is a sausage recipe? 12oz water for 1 pound meat?
Looks like for chili
GL with it.
thank you indaswampI'm assuming you want this as a fresh sausage recipe. This is what I came up with:
1# ground beef is 454g. 1 kg. is 2.2# so for 1kg. meat, multiply the seasoning amounts by 2.2 (except the water).
Also, Sausage needs min. 20% fat. I would use pork fat. Couple of ways you can go...70% ground lean beef and 30% pork back fat or say 40% beef, 30% lean pork, 30% fat.
Now, the salt....I recommend 1.25% for a fresh sausage. so for 1000g that is 12.5g salt. weigh this out.
For 1000g meat:
2.2 tsp. Onion powder
2.2 tsp. Garlic powder
2.2 tsp. Cumin powder
12.5g Salt
2.2 tsp. Sugar
2.2 tsp. Oregano
2.2 tablespoon paprika
6.6 tablespoons tones chili powder . start with way less if you have a different brand you can always add more.
3% water or less.....so 30mL...about 2 TBSPs.
will tryCant help with the sausage quest but Hot Dog Chili I got...Growing up in NJ, Texas Weiners/ Chili Dogs, were everywhere. From shops that specialized, to Diners and Lunch Trucks. Texas Weiners are similar to Coney Dogs in NY, and Hot Weiners in parts of PA. This recipes took awhile to reverse engineer from one of the most Famous Shops in Central NJ. It should give you some ideas on spice possibilities...JJ

Puree the Onion, Pepper and Garlic until very fine. Saute the Veg in EVOO until it starts to get golden. Add the water to deglaze the pan. Add the remaining ingredients stirring well to break up the meat into fine pieces and combine ingredients. Bring Sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to desired thickness. Stir frequently.
