How to Make Bulk Sausage
Bulk sausage is fresh sausage that has not been stuffed into casings. It looks like ground beef with spices added, and it may be formed into patties. Bulk sausage is a useful food to have on hand for certain recipes. You can easily make bulk sausage at home with a few basic ingredients. Making your own sausage will give you a more wholesome product than the premade bulk sausage, which often has added sugar, sodium, preservatives, fillers and other chemicals. Does this Spark an idea?

Grind 5 lbs. of meat. Pork sausage is the most common, but turkey and chicken are lower in fat. If you choose pork, use the butt or shoulder cuts. Place the raw pork, chicken or turkey in your meat grinder with a fine plate, such as 3/16 or ¼ inch. Use the manufacturer's instructions to grind the meat and fat separately; refrigerate these ingredients when you are not working with them directly. If you don't have a meat grinder, purchase plain ground pork, turkey or chicken from your butcher.
