Looking for a recipe, going to make my first batch of deer sausage with probably a 60-40 deer/pork mix. Thanks in advance!

Zack's Spice Company in Deer Park has the best seasoning i have found/used for smoked sausage. Your deer/pork mix should be ok as long as the pork has a good amount of fat.


Zack's Spice Comany Sausage Seasonings

No argument but I used Morton's years ago.

I use their sweet rub bbq seasoning on ribs, good stuff.

What kind of sausage do you want to make kman2017? Breakfast, cured, etc?

Breakfast. Appreciate the replies so far!

Pendry's seasonings have everything you need for pan sausage.

Don’t forget your Hard hat so that it’s FDA approved!

OK, here's a couple that are pretty good. This is based on 1 LB of meat, scale up from there or write back; my spreadsheet auto-scales the measurements. The Tablespoon/Teaspoon are approximate measures. Sorry for the screenshots, this is the only way to preserve the format

Hot and Spicy


Not so spicy hot but more full flavored.

What I use, good stuff. I like to add a little extra.

It has been about 45 years since we first made sausage. This was our easy way is to look up recipes that you like. Find a few recipes that look like they have the "basic" spice ingredients that you prefer. Then mix up a small batch of EACH of the spice mixes you picked. Grind up a pork roast and divide the meat in to small amounts and try each batch of spices. This gives you the opportunity to test both the spice mix, and the amount of spice used per pound.

Keep a notes on each mix as to ingredients, amounts and the amount of spice mix used per pound.

Easy Peasy... This stuff is carried in almost every store, including Wallyworld.
Season to taste.

Me too. Easy and good. Brats seasoning is good too.

Good information, I'm a noob at sausage making, I normally buy the seasonings at Academy or Bass Pro.

Good stuff, do you add water to the above specs? If so, how much?
Does this apply for grilling fresh sausages as well?

Great replies. I'm probably try and make some smoked as well.

^^^ look around on here

If you want to make your own look at how much of each ingredient goes into various recipes pick the ingredients you like and go from there. A good sausage does not need a million ingredients, in fact i wont make one that calls for a bunch of bs. Most is made with salt pepper and garlic.
