"This is a recipe my DH and I put together and I was quite pleased with the end result. You can omit the cayenne if you are not a fan of heat or you can increase it if you like it hot. I also use wild meat in this at times, 1 1/2 pounds wild meat and 1 1/2 pounds pork is a great ratio. #recipe7170"

You need to check your Instacure #1 amount. Instacure #1 recommended usage is 1tsp. per 5lbs of meat. Your recipe calls for 2tsp. for 3lbs of meat. This is over double the recommended safe amount.

I missed out on our 'Sausage Day' weekend, which had me make up patties. The patties not as pretty as 'Waynes Kielbasa but the taste – fantastic! I used the optional cayenne pepper. Love, love, love that sausage mix. Looking forward to making into sausage and smoking when we next make sausage. Thank you for sharing Wayne's recipe! Just might have to invest in a small sausage machine.
