Homemade Beef Sausage

This homemade beef sausage recipe is packed with savory flavor and perfectly spiced for a mouthwatering meal. Perfect for grilling, pan-frying, or adding to your favorite dishes!

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 sausages 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (preferably chuck or brisket)
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sausage casings (if making links)

Instructions

  • Start by placing the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the crushed ice to the meat to keep it cold throughout the mixing process.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix the spices well.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the ground beef. Add the chopped parsley and mix everything together by hand until fully combined.
  • If you’re using sausage casings, soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes to make them pliable. Rinse thoroughly before using.
  • Stuff the beef mixture into the sausage casings, ensuring they are packed tightly. Tie off the ends with butcher’s twine.
  • For those not using casings, you can form the sausage into patties instead.
  • Heat your grill or skillet to medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If you’re using casings, make sure not to overstuff them, as this can cause them to burst during cooking.
  • You can freeze uncooked sausages for up to three months for later use. Just make sure they’re well-wrapped.
