Recipe: Rinderwurst (German Beef Sausage)

Here are two recipes I found, hope they help.

Rinderwurst:

Cook chuck roast with onions. When done drain off the broth and cook oatmeal in the beef broth. Enough to be about one fourth as much as the beef. Grind the beef and mix with the cooked oatmeal. Add salt, pepper, and allspice to taste.( We found that it takes a lot of allspice to make it taste like Grandmother M's.) You can then either bake the rinderwurst in a shallow cake pan at 225-250 degrees for 30 minutes or stuff in casings. Cool the baked-in-a-shallow pan rinderwurst and cut in the amount you fry for a meal. Use or package and freeze for later. When ready to use, thaw and fry as patties or just fry any old way allowing for some nice brown crispness and some soft parts.
