Start with 10 pounds of pork shoulder, cubed into 3x3 pieces.

Use a meat grinder to grind the pork shoulder.

Add 1 cup of ice cold water to the ground pork and mix by hand until tacky.

Separate the mixture into two batches: one for regular sausage and one for hot sausage.

For the hot sausage, add 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper and 2 tablespoons of hot chili powder and mix.

Prepare the sausage stuffer by spraying the inside with canola oil.

Pack the regular sausage mixture into the stuffer canister and install the stuffing tube.

Rinse the sheep casings with water and slide them onto the stuffing tube.

Stuff the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff.

Twist the sausages into 4-inch links and tie off the ends.

Cook the sausages on a skillet using an induction burner.
