Old Fashioned Summer Sausage w/ Natural Cure DIY Kit
*30-Day Money-Back Guarantee*
*NOTE* Due to temporary supply constraints, these kits may have casings without The Bearded Butchers logo printed on them. They are otherwise identical and will perform the same. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Good old fashioned summer sausage made with salt, pepper, and garlic. This easy kit takes the guesswork out of making a classic meat snack.
With a perfect amount of seasoning, natural celery juice cure, encapsulated citric acid to give your summer sausage that familiar 'tang' flavor, and enough casings for 25 lbs.; just add meat and you're ready to go!
We make ours with all beef, but you can also use any wild game like venison, elk or bison and can mix partially with pork trim too! Aim for fat content totaling around 20% by weight.
We've also included dried minced garlic, and if you like, add some jalapeno, mustard seed, red pepper, onion, sage (around 1-2 oz of most herbs & spices), or any combination you like into 25 lbs of meat.
Also great with our high temp cheeses mixed in!

I’ve used the across the counter type summer sausage kits many times with less than expected results both in taste and texture. I’ve followed The Bearded Butchers on you tube from making link butt sausage to utilization of processed venison. After watch the video on making venison summer sausage I purchased the DIY kit with the added cherry powder, the directions and materials made a summer sausage kits then exceeded my expectations and many of my friends. Exceptional product, easy to follow instructions.
This year I set out to make my own summer sausage. This kit made that so much easier! I ended up making 25 lbs of summer sausage and I cant wait to make more!
First time ever making summer sausage and it turned out great I also made there beer brats and they were amazing. I will definitely be buying more of their seasoning kits

I was really impressed with this DIY summer sausage kit. Everything you need is included, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow, even if you’re new to making sausage at home. The seasoning blend is perfectly balanced—great flavor without being overpowering—and the final result tastes just amazing !
The process itself was enjoyable and rewarding, especially knowing exactly what went into the sausage. The texture turned out firm and sliceable, and it paired perfectly with cheese and crackers. This kit is a great option for anyone who enjoys DIY food projects, hunting season prep, or just wants to make high-quality sausage at home.
I would definitely buy this kit again and recommend it to friends and family. A fun project with an excellent payoff!
Will definitely use the DIY Kit with Natural Cure again for making Venison Sausage smoked in the Traeger! I wish the DIY Kit still included Hickory Smoke Powder which I will do next time and more Mustard Seed!!!
I was skeptical how it would turn out. I followed directions from their video and it is better than expected. The flavor and texture is perfect.
I just placed my second order for a kit.
Used this cure for making elk sausage. First time using a Bearded Butchers product. The the process was easy to follow. My fist batch was 12.5 lbs plain sausage.
The second part was jalapeno and cheddar. Very user friendly instructions. I will be using this again. Highly recommend.
The summer sausage and bratwurst turned out great. Also I have learned a lot from y’all’s videos. Thanks
This was the first time making summer sausage myself. Used 20 lbs of venison and 5 lbs of pork butt. It came out amazing, actually better than anywhere I went to have my deer processed at. I will be buying the summer sausage kit natural cure from now on.
Made the best meat sticks!!!
Was easy to do!! Thanks I'll order more!
I watch your YouTube channel and really enjoy your content. My son and I started processing our venison several years ago and we have purchased several of the “Made with Meat” products promoted by your channel. The quality of these products is second to none, and we were not surprised, nor disappointed with the DIY summer sausage kit. We’ve purchased similar products from Walton’s, and while they performed as expected, the DIY summer sausage kit from y’all produced a superior final product. We will be purchasing more of your DIY kits for summer sausage and snack sticks. Keep the video’s coming!
The best tasting sausage I’ve ever had. We also made this using our kitchenaid grinder and 💪. Not ideal but it still worked perfectly
Everyone that has tried my summer sausage wants more! Thank so much!
I had not heard of your company before, had been disappointed with some of the multi-star products on line. I have been processing my deer on my own for quite some time, and was glad to stumble upon your processing kits. They have been a great time saver . Looking forward to trying some other products.
Turned out great, watch their you tube video for step by step instruction. Like the option of natural cure.
Just the best
Best summer sausage kit I've ever used
Tried the recipe with 12.5 lbs of pre ground venison and it turned out amazing. Followed their video on YouTube to the “T”. Definitely will be making my own from here on out.
First time using Bearded Butchers products. Turned out great everyone like it .
This kit was super easy to use and tasted delicious. I added the jalapeno, jalapeno powder and cheddar cheese to mine. Be careful when adding the jalapeno powder, it is super powerful and will fill the entire room, making everyone cough. Excited to use this again, thinking about trying it out with just pepper jack cheese and no jalapenos next time for a different taste. All in all, highly recommend this kit.
Best summer sausage I’ve ever had
Bought the kit and followed directions to the letter. My smoker only goes down to 185 so ran it at 185 for 4 hours then upped to 205, took another 45-60 minutes. Friends and family asking for more!!!!
First attempt at sausage. Came out fantastic.
