    I did my test run on the new grinder with some breakfast sausage. I made 5 lbs of Dixie and 3 lbs of Holly breakfast sausage. This was the first time trying the Dixie. I did a double course grind. I am really happy with the grinder and really like the Dixie seasoning from Walton’s. I made a few 1/4 pound patties of the Dixie with some eggs over easy and toast at breakfast for my oldest son and me. He is a Firefighter/Paramedic and just got off of his 24 hour shift. He really liked the Dixie seasoning. For anyone who hasn’t tried the Dixie, it is mild and doesn’t have a heavy sage taste, but is full of flavor.

          cdavis this was just 100% pork shoulder for the test run with the new grinder and the Dixie seasoning. I didn’t add venison yet, but plan on making some breakfast sausage with it in the future. It will be a 50% venison and 50% pork shoulder blend. I really like the Southern Style from Walton’s with the venison for breakfast sausage, but will be giving the Dixie a shot next.

            GWG8541 Looking good. It’s that time of the year for hearty breakfasts. Great way to break in your grinder. I got one as a “We Gift” for the wife and I for Christmas.

                20211205_184441.jpg I grilled a chuck roast that spent 2 days in the Argentine marinade Tex_77 has recommended. Boy was he right. This stuff is good. Also grilled some potato wedges and jalapeños using Excaliburs potato seasoning. It is also very good 👍. 20211205_181531.jpg 20211205_181642.jpg ![20211205_184441.jpg](/

                cdavis very nice & YES, it is delicious. I have also made up some of what I call some homemade South American brine, etc. but the Walton’s Argentinian makes it easy & delicious.

                  GWG8541 Sounds like you scored! We got the Walton’s #8. We just do small batches and it’ll beat using the KitchenAid.

                    GWG8541 I’ve never had the Dixie. Sounds like I better give it a whirl.

                        Bob Stehlik I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, but no grinder attachment. The largest batch I have ever made at one time is 12.5 lbs of summer sausage on my old small kitchen grinder. It still works fine and is light and easy for a small job. This #8 is a big step up compared to that one. I would feel comfortable doing a 25 lb batch with it, but would need to get a bigger mixer. I only have a 20 lb mixer.

                            Ridley Acres cdavis I forgot to mention my local grocery had pork shoulder for 99 cents a lb this week. I picked up the last 3 they had Saturday, which was the last day of the sale.

                                calldoctoday Over the summer I picked up a 20qt univex planetary type mixer for around $70 that needed some repairs. I have the variable speed pulleys reconditioned and still need to put the new bowl lift housing on, but once I have that going it will be my primary mixer and has #12 grinder attachment. I’ll be sure to report on how well it performs, but wifey has higher priority on getting our second bathroom finished first.

                                      GWG8541 Absolutely, its my pleasure!

                                      In its current state, the mixer would grind with the attachment, but I cannot lift the bowl for any mixing.

                                        calldoctoday Over the summer I picked up a 20qt univex planetary type mixer for around $70 that needed some repairs. I have the variable speed pulleys reconditioned and still need to put the new bowl lift housing on, but once I have that going it will be my primary mixer and has #12 grinder attachment. I’ll be sure to report on how well it performs, but wifey has higher priority on getting our second bathroom finished first.

                                          I did my test run on the new grinder with some breakfast sausage. I made 5 lbs of Dixie and 3 lbs of Holly breakfast sausage. This was the first time trying the Dixie. I did a double course grind. I am really happy with the grinder and really like the Dixie seasoning from Walton’s. I made a few 1/4 pound patties of the Dixie with some eggs over easy and toast at breakfast for my oldest son and me. He is a Firefighter/Paramedic and just got off of his 24 hour shift. He really liked the Dixie seasoning. For anyone who hasn’t tried the Dixie, it is mild and doesn’t have a heavy sage taste, but is full of flavor.
