Step 1

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a glass or plastic bowl.

Make into a roll about 2 inches thick, wrap in aluminum foil.
Punch small holes around foil to allow mixture to drain during cooking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place sausage on a rack in foil lined pan and bake for 1 hour.
Allow to drain and cool slightly.
Remove sausage and wrap in paper towels to remove excess liquid.
Wrap in another sheet of aluminum foil and allow to cool before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature.
