Slice the sausages down the middle, but do not cut all the way through. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the peppers and onion. Place the sausages back into the pan with the peppers and onions, fanning them out on top. Simmer the sausages with peppers and onions for 15 minutes.
When I make sausage or grind meat, I work out of the freezer in order to make sure that everything is super cold. Another option is to work out of a cooler filled with ice. The meat is easier to work with when it’s on the verge of freezing, and it’s much safer. If your meat is so cold that your hands get an arthritic ache when mixing it, you’re doing it right.
Serve immediately with crusty bread and grilled veggies on the side. Invite some friends over. These sausages go great with beer.
Fresh sausage making is my favorite category of wild game cookery, as it turns low-grade cuts of meat into high-grade food. My favorite sausages are fresh, meaning not cured or dried-and stuffed into hog middle casings.
For the following sausages, I prefer natural hog casings with diameters between 32 and 35 millimeters.

Moose meat lacks that same marbling of fat that makes beef tender because, as wild game, moose are more active and have a different diet from farm animals.

I wake up early to accommodate our customers in different time zones, so I usually go to bed no later than 10pm. A table full of 10 lbs. of pork fat and 30 lbs. of moose meat does not equal a bed time earlier than midnight.
