Coming from a family of butchers, fisherman and hunters, this recipe has been tested on some big guys with big appetites. If you're looking for a little more specialty, homemade summer sausage recipe that will knock the socks off your relatives when they come over during the holidays... well, look no further. You can tweak it as you see fit, but be careful because this recipe has been tweaked to perfection already. This recipe will make 10 lbs. of sausage.

Tom, this recipe is different than our classic Summer Sausage Mix available in stores, however, they both make a great final product.

Is this the same delicious recipe sold in stores? Under the “Summer Sausage Mix” name?

Your recipe for Roger’s Summer Sausage does not list the amounts of meat used, just the ratio. HELP.
Thank You Much,
