Then the shaping and storage comes inches You can shape them by hand into links about 4 inches long and 3/4 of an inch thick and let them sit for an hour in the cooler. Or you can follow the method below the cooking instructions.
• These links can be prepared on a grill cooked for about 4 to 5 mins each side or can be cooked in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes (turned every 15 mins).
• The best way to shape the links is to take a 1/2 deep cookie pan covered with Freezer or Wax paper on the bottom and over lapping the ends with 1 to 2 inches. Then evenly spread the mixture over the inside of the pan and cover with an additional sheet of wax paper.
• Allow at least 1 hour in the fridge to cool off so the shape can hold.
• If you have a large cutting board, remove the pan from the cooler. Flip the pan over the top of the cutting board so the mixture falls out. If not, use one of the ends of the paper on the bottom of the mixture to pull it out.
• Next, take a large pizza cutter and cut downwards every 1" to 1 1/2". Then depending on the length you would like the links, you can cut across 2 or 3 ways. Cutting it across in the middle makes less links. Cutting 2 lines makes about 45 links.
