Steps:
- 1. Into my Large stand mixer I add the braunschweiger and cream cheese, onions, beer and worcestershire sauce. I mix it very well so there are not big clumps of braunschweiger or cream cheese.
- 2. I turn it out onto waxed paper or parchment. I form the ball or make smaller ones for gifts to share, at this point. Using the leftover creamcheese for frosting the balls, them garnish them how ever I think is neat. Use capers, green or black olives, parsley...basically anything savory.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful meats and spices to ensure the best possible taste.
- Grind the meat finely: This will help the sausage bind together and create a smooth texture.
- Season the meat generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and seasonings to give the sausage a bold flavor.
- Mix the meat thoroughly: Make sure all of the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the sausage mixture.
- Chill the sausage mixture before stuffing: This will help the sausage hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Stuff the sausage tightly: This will help to prevent air pockets and ensure that the sausage cooks evenly.
- Cook the sausage slowly and carefully: Overcooking can dry out the sausage and make it tough.
- Let the sausage rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the sausage and make it more tender.
