Indiana Farm Sausage

Ingredients

2 pounds meat room temperature
3/8 cup onion
2 teaspoons parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

In a deep bowl, combine all ingredients, using hands if necessary. On wax paper, shape and roll mixture into 2 logs 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, slice the rolls into rounds about 1/2" thick and fry in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until done. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

An alternate way to prepare sausage is to shape mixture into 50 large marble-size balls. Freeze if desired. To serve, bake frozen on a rack, starting in a cold oven for 20 minutes at 325.
