From The All-American Barbecue Book by Rich Davis & Shifra Stein, NY: Vintage, 1988, ISBN# 0-394-75842-0 (pbk) Mix the meats with the spices. For sausage links, attach 2¼-inchsausage casings to the stuffer nozzle on a hand meat grinder. Stuff the casings to the desired length, cut the links, and secure the ends with string.

Barbecue at 225 deg F for 2 hours or slow-smoke at 185deg F for 4 hours.

For sausage patties, form the meat mixture into a roll and cover with wax paper. Slice the roll into patties and peeloff the wax paper. Patties can be fried or grilled.
