Traeger Smoked Sausage

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the meat and seasonings, mix well.

Step 2

Add ice water to meat and mix with hands working quickly until everything is incorporated.

Step 3

Place mixture in a sausage stuffer and follow manufacturers instructions for operating. Use caution not to overstuff or the casing might burst.

Step 4

Once all the meat is stuffed, determine your desired link length and pinch and twist a couple of times or tie it off. Repeat for each link.

Step 5

When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

Step 6

Place links directly on the grill grate and cook for 1 to 2 hours or until the internal temperature registers 155℉. Let sausage rest a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
