An old family friend gave me her recipe for hamburger sausage years ago and I was very disappointed that I misplaced it until I came across yours which seemed similar to hers. Made a half batch to try out and my tweaks were wrapping the rolls in cheese cloth and baked on a rack over cookie sheet. My oven only goes to 170 F so I had to turn it on and off every hour to try to maintain 150 F which was hard to do and sometimes the temperature hovered around 200 F but it was worth it because after 8 hours we had amazing results. We are definitely making this again and next time I am going to use garlic salt instead of powder and add just a bit more liquid smoke. If I had Facebook I would have submitted photos as even at a somewhat higher temp the sausage was nicely coloured and done just right. Thanks for sharing this!
