Home-Style Sausage

This sausage forcemeat is meant to be ground with the small die of a regular grinder, not chopped by hand or processed in a food processor. Note that all implements to come in contact with sausage meat—knife, grinder die and other parts, mixer bowl and blades—should be boiled or put through the sanitizing cycle of the dishwasher, then cooled to extremely cold in the refrigerator before grinding the meat. You must wear surgical gloves during the whole process.
