Fresh sausage is easier to prepare than meat loaf... easy enough to
experiment for desired heat level... drop a spoonfull in a frypan to
cook and taste... add more hot pepper to the mix as desired.
And really no need to bother stuffing casings... simply make patties
and/or meatballs. Saw-seege burgers parm are scrumptious.
I don't bother with pork butt. I buy family packs of pork shoulder
chops on sale, typically about $1.29/lb, trim out the bones and grind
the meat for bulk saw-seege. The bones are browned in a big heavy SS
pot as the base for a great tomato sauce and then drop in the
oven-browned saw-seege meat-a-balles.
The best part of making your own saw-seege is that's the ONLY way to
know what/who is in it.
There are tons of recipes on line for seasoning various kinds of fresh
saw-seege. And the money saved from not buying store-bought saw-seege
will easily pay for a quality 'lectric meat grinder. And now is a
good time as it's hunting season and it's holiday shopping time so
meat grinders are at low prices

If I didn't already own two electric grinders I'd definitely buy this:

It doesn't pay to buy a cheapo grinder, you won't be happy with the
smeared grind... and hand cranked grinders are dangerous, easy to
amputate a finger or three.
