MIXING MEAT

When making sausage it is important to add water to the mixture.

Water will: a) Help the seasoning blend with the meat better. b) Make mixing easier. c) Make stuffing easier. It will not weaken the flavor of the sausage.

1. Mix seasoning (and cure if used) with a minimum of 1 oz. of water per pound of meat. Mix thoroughly until seasoning is dissolved.

2. Put meat in mixer and pour water/seasoning mixture over meat. Place the tank cover on the mixer.

3. Mix meat until it starts to become tacky. DO NOT OVERMIX.

4. Remove sausage from mixer and immediately put it into stuffer for stuffing. Do not allow sausage meat mixture to sit before stuffing. If mixture becomes difficult to stuff you can add water.
