Torment(ed) Pig Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients

---

Directions

1. To make this breakfast sausage, be sure to chill all of your ingredients as well as your equipment before beginning. This may seems like a hassle but it will be well worth the time and effort.
2. All of this can be done with the kitchenaid stand mixer. Grinder attachments can be purchased for about $30.
3. Combine all the ingredients except the beer and toss to distribute the seasonings. Chill until ready to grind.
4. Grind the mixture through the small die into a bowl set in ice.
5. Add the COLD Torment Dark Belgian-Style Ale to the meat mixture and mix with the paddle attachment until the beer is well incorporated and the mixture has developed a uniform, sticky appearance, about one minute on medium speed.
6. Cook a small piece of the sausage and adjust the seasoning to your particular taste.
7. Shape into patties or roll into a log, wrap in plastic and freeze, slice into patties and cook to an internal temperature of 150°F.
