Beginners Guide to Grinding Your Own Breakfast Sausage

Breakfast sausage is my second favorite breakfast meat and I always like to have some on hand for a quick meal or a super heavy mountain man breakfast that will set your day off right. You can substitute deer (venison) or elk for the pork butt if you add in 30% pork fat by weight.

Once you've ground the meat, you'll want to save some for another day. I review the best ways to freeze your sausage for different kinds of use.

Recipe - scale this to the amount of meat you have
1000g Pork Butt (2lbs 3oz
15g Salt (2.5tsp)
3g Dried Sage (2 tsp)
