Ingredients
- 3 garlic (cloves minced)
- 1 sausage casings
- 1/4 liquid barbecue smoke
- 1 1/2 pounds pork (ground)
- 1/2 pound beef (ground)
- 1/4 cup water (optional)
- 2 tablespoons textured vegetable protein (plus)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper coarsely (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 3/4 teaspoon marjoram
Knead together the pork, beef, and garlic in a large bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients in another bowl, then combine both mixtures, thoroughly kneading the flavorings into the meat. Stuff the casings to form 18 to 24-inch links, then tie the two ends together, forming a ring. Refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors before cooking in your favorite manner. Kielbasa may also be smoked.
