Great job for your first attempt and using a Kitchen Aid, looks like your a pro already! I hope mine goes as smooth as yours did.

Man you are a brute to muscle that much sausage with a KA stuffer.  I use my pro model for grinding but no way I would stuff with that thing.  

Like Jimmy mentioned - make sure to do smaller batches to keep the product cold.

Want to do a good hot italian sausage next. May have to find a recipe though cause no one sells a spice mix for hot up here!

SMF member Checkered Past makes a great hot italian sausage seasoning... very worthwhile contacting him to purchase some of his seasoning... top notch!

Nice work! Sausage came out great and I bet it tasted awesome. Well deserved trip to Hooters for sure!

Damn fine job for a "newbie". Can't wait to see what you do when you get good at it.

Fine work there for a newbie. I bet your arms are tired. A stuffer will definately be on your wish list. KA makes a tray to put on your grinder that makes things easier. Tried to put a link to it up but their site won't allow. Also Shooter Rick has a fine Hot Italian recipe. Here's the link.

Nice looking sausage bigfish!  That was alot of meat to put through a KA at one time.

My wife and I just picked up a LEM 5lb stuffer over the week-end after doing some beef sticks. It will make stuffing easier.
