How do you make homemade sausage without meat grinder/sausage stuffer? I have no desire to spend hundreds of dollars on this specialized equipment to make sausage, which I may only use a few times a year.     There must be some other alternatives!

edit: no Kitchen Aid mixer (yes I know it makes this even more difficult)
Well, you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars, but you might need to put in more elbow grease. You can get a hand-crank meat grinder for about $30 or so and a manual sausage stuffer for about the same. You could save on the grinder if you have a food processor or blender that can have its way with the meat.
