So you want to make sausage but don't have any fancy equipment? Give this a try..
Start with a pound and a half of pork butt strips.
Cut the pork into one inch cubes; it will only take a minute or two.
Then cut the cubes into quarters. This is tedious and takes about 10 minutes give or take.
Season the minced meat. I went with salt, pepper, garlic, red wine.
Slip a casing onto a funnel with a wide opening on the bottom and start loading it up by pressing the meat through with your thumb.
Tie the casing off when you are finished stuffing all of the meat. No need to get worked up over making links. This took me about 15 minutes.
I baked this guy in the oven (300F, 45 min, internal temp = 175) then let it cool before slicing.
You get a wonderful texture using this technique.
This has a bit more chew to it than usual due to the size of the meat pieces but it is still a fine tasting sausage.
Bottom line...you don't need to drop a wad of cash on new toys to start making sausage.
Thanks for looking!

Drop the chunks and seasoning in the food processor and pulse it a few times. That funnel trick is some real old school sausage making stuff, if it aint broke.....

My ancestors would stuff sausage into jars,submerge it in lard and top it with a
paper lid tied w/ a string. Kept in the spring house for real long time.

Re: No grinder, no stuffer, no problem
The crazy part.....
The reason I made this sausage was because someone was sending me messages complaining about how much sausage making equipment cost.
I sent them a link showing them how to do this...their response...
"But where can I find a funnel?"
Hope everybody has a great day!!

Cool technique for low tech, simple sausage making. That one link took you 15 mintues, though? I'd hate to do that with 15 lbs of meat. Or even 10.

I started my second sausage class off with a sample of a sausage I made (3lb) for less than $10 including all materials, supplies AND the smoker.

Papa Tom,
I am going to have to drop by your way and catch a class sometime!
I bet it would be fun.
