Making Damon's Famous Smoked Sausage: The Complete Video

Start with 50 pounds of meat total, using 25 pounds of beef brisket trimmings and 25 pounds of pork butt.

Mix the beef and pork together to ensure an even mixture.

Change gloves before adding spices.

Add the German style smoked sausage seasoning with cure to the meat mixture.

Mix the seasoning thoroughly into the meat.

Add 3 ounces of mustard seed to the seasoning and mix well.

Grind the meat mixture using a meat grinder, ensuring the grinder parts are chilled beforehand to prevent cooking the meat during grinding.

If making jalapeno cheese sausage, add jalapenos at this stage; otherwise, proceed with the grinding process without them.
