The Ingredients You Will Need
1. Pork and Beef
The base of the Swedish sausage is a mixture of ground pork and beef. Choose a good quality, lean cut of meat for the best flavor and texture. For a healthier option, you can also use ground turkey or chicken.
2. Spices
The key to a flavorful Swedish sausage is the blend of spices used. The most common spices used in this recipe are allspice, nutmeg, and coriander. These spices give the sausage a warm and slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the meat.

Traditionally, Swedish sausage is stuffed into natural casings made from animal intestines. These casings give the sausages their signature shape and texture. However, if you cannot find natural casings, you can also use collagen casings or make patties instead.
The Recipe
1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1lb of ground pork and 1lb of ground beef.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the meat mixture.
3. Mix the spices into the meat until well combined.
4. If using natural casings, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to soften them.
5. Stuff the meat mixture into the casings, making sure to pack it tightly.
6. If using collagen casings, simply form the meat mixture into sausage shapes by hand.
7. Grill or pan-fry the sausages until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
8. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy your homemade Swedish sausage!
