With my trusty Guide Series #12 grinder & my Food Saver V2830 my wife and I decided to give making Hot Italian sausage a try along with some breakfast sausage. The Hot Italian turned out AWESOME! The breakfast sausage turned out well also but I’d like to add a little more heat to it next timeJ
The best part about it is that I saved a quite a bit of money making it myself. As for a good gourmet Italian sausage can cost $6-$8 per pound and breakfast can cost $4-8 per pound. I bought the 20 pound pork butt for $29 and spent about $10 in seasonings/packaging. After trimming/grinding I had 17 pounds of sausage for $39. That’s $2.24 per pound!!!!! Not only is this a great savings but I know what went into the sausage I’ll be eating. Many companies place a lot of trimmings & bi-products in their product to yield a higher profit!
