If you have a kitchenaid mixer with the grinder attachment just use it. I do. I grind the meat into the mixer bowl and use the mixer to stir in whatever needs mixed. Well, that just sounds too easy! Might try that first, lol.

Might try that first, lol. Be sure you tighten the grinder where it holds the plate against the knives pretty dang snug, I run it one notch below full speed while grinding. You can do about 6-7lb batches. It's not the fastest but works very well.

Hi mountain has some good kits so does lem I bought the 7# stuffer. I'm guessing, it will realistically handle about 5#/load.

I use my jerky cannon to stuff cases. I had a stuffer but it wasn't much if any faster for me. Yeah, but you are built like a gorilla and I'm built more like Barney Fife. I'm gonna need the mechanical advantage!

I bought the book "Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing" By Rytek Kutas at least 30 years ago. It has 100's of sausage recipes in it, ham, bacon, wild game. It is a great book. I suggest the book to anyone wanting to make sausage, bacon or ham.

I agree the Kitchen aid is better than most of those 70 dollar little grinders with plastic gears , you can do about 5 pound batches like this 4 if you have the smaller mixer

I suggest the book to anyone wanting to make sausage, bacon or ham. X2.... I must be the only guy on the planet who continues to use an old school #5 Enterprise hand grinder I got off ebay for $40. Will grind 10# in under 5 min. 90% of all sausage is meat, salt, pepper and a few other spices, depending on what you are making. All you need are a set of scales to weigh it all out. Beyond that, a 5# stuffer......like a LEM.......and you are set. Wouldn't want to hand crank a whole hog or a whole deer, but for small batches, it works as well as anything.
