What did everyone cook today?
-
Finally after a two year hiatus I made a batch of chili. Found a few pounds of brisket from the fall when pulling meat for grinding. I think I found my favorite meat to make chili; the wife wanted beans in it. Gotta pick your battles.

Tex_77 well done is subjective lol. My dad cooked all his steaks to crispy critters. I’d consider that one a medium rare, bordering medium.
RafterW Looks good, “Medium, Medium Rare”

RafterW I hear ya, I think it was something with that generation. My dad puts ketchup on everything, i think he picked up that habit up from my Grandpa who I remember telling me during the War he had to put ketchup on all most everything to make it edible, and the food he disliked the most that they got was powdered eggs.

gus4416 How did you cook them?
-
gus4416 What was your process for preparing the casings? Were they new casings or one you had, had for a while?
-
Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler. -

gus4416, did you let the links dry in the fridge over night before freezing and vac sealing? I’ve only made linked sausages a hand full of times but I’ve never skipped the drying overnight step. Maybe the casings remained a bit too wet and caused that toughness?
