Let's Cook

Step 1.

Remove the pork from the bone and cut into 1 inch cubes. Cut beef into cubes. Toss meat with seasonings and 1/2 cup water. Store in refrigerator over night and grind the next day. Grind the meat twice with a course blade and make it into large patties (1/2 cup measure of sausage), freeze them between double layer sheets of wax paper on a cookie sheet and then put them in plastic bags. Make hot sausage sandwiches with fried onions and green peppers on a hoagie bun. Grill sausage either in a frying pan, or barbecue.
