Homemade Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage

1. 1

   If you are using a Boston butt, make sure about 15%-20% is fat, or you will have dry sausage.

2. 2

   Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces and run them through a grinder with a medium plate.

3. 3

   If you are using pre-ground pork, you can skip this step and move on.

4. 4

   Place the herbs and spices in a large mixing bowl.

5. 5

   Mix to combine.

6. 6

   Add the ground pork to the large bowl.

7. 7

   Mix the herbs and spices into the ground pork by hand until it is uniformly distributed.

8. 8

   Place the sausage into a Ziploc bag and store in the refrigerator for a day or two for the flavors to marry.
