and it was great! I used the grinder attachment on my KitchenAid stand mixer and a Vivo stuffer. The casings were from Butcher and Packer Supply, the recipe from "Homemade Sausage" by Peisker and Carter and an organic picnic shoulder.
It was not without difficulties.
The mix was super-sticky. I lost meat the second time I ran it through the grinder because it was stuck to my hands and again when I put it into the stuffer.
When I bottomed out the plunger on the stuffer, there was still mix in the elbow and spigot. The Vivo has a pressure safety so I can't use air pressure to get it into the casing. I ended up excavating that and frying it as a patty.
