My favorite way to make sausage is to stock different sausage seasonings.
I just freeze cubes of venison... To prepare...cut pork fat into cubes and freeze....
The day before...take the venison and pork fat out of the freezer. Let them sit out at room temp to partially thaw...but must be firm. Run the cubes of meat thru the meat grinder...first on the coarse plate.... add spices...then run the mixture thru the fine plate...they can be stuffed into sausage casing or made into patties to pan fry or grill.
The advantage IS...you get to decide what kind of sausage you want. It beats having a overload of breakfast sausage...and no bratwurst, kielbasa, italian sausage, etc....for the rest of the year., You can even grind up so fatty beef and make plain old burgers if you want. Having packages of cubes...lets you decide what you want to do. Yes, it takes a bit longer to prepare vs just pulling out pre-made sausages and cooking...but I think it's worth it in the long run.
