1 1/2 pounds pork — ground
1/2 pound ground beef
3 cloves garlic — minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper — coarsely ground
2 teaspoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon liquid Barbecue Smoke(R) — optional
2 tablespoons textured vegetable protein plus

sausage casings
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.
