Set up the meat grinder with the coarse grinding plate. Working over a large bowl, gently feed the meat through the grinder.

Start pressing the sausage mixture very slowly out of the stuffer until the meat emerges from the tube.

Now tie a knot at the trailing end of the casing.

Continue feeding the sausage mixture into the casing, using your free hand to regulate how tightly the sausage is packed; make sure not to overstuff the casing. When the casing is nearly stuffed, tie off the other end.

Lay the sausage on a damp surface. Starting at one end, pinch off the first link by pinching your fingers into the sausage to separate the filling; 4 inches is a good average length. Then, roll the link toward you 3 to 5 times, creating a twist in the casing. Move down to form the next link, rolling 3 to 5 times in the opposite direction (this prevents unraveling).

Remove any air pockets by piercing the sausage links all over with a needle. Cook the sausages and serve.
