Remove from the refrigerator and pass the meat through a meat grinder with a 1/2-inch die attachment. Remove half of the meat and pass through the grinder a second time. Switch the grinder attachment to the feeder tube. Stuff the sausage into 1 1/2-inch casings. Tie or twist the sausage every 4 inches to form individual links. Form the remaining sausage mixture into 4-ounce patties. This recipe yields 2 1/2 pounds of sausage links and 10 sausage patties.
