What did everyone cook today?

So I tried the buffalo blue cheese brats this morning. They had a real strong blue cheese flavor which is fine with me. As far as the buffalo flavor, you couldn’t really taste it much. I used 2 1/2 oz of franks powder in 12 pounds of meat.I really don’t want to use much more than that because I think they will get too salty. Next time I think I will use the powder plus replace half the water with liquid buffalo sauce. The brats taste great, but just didn’t have the flavor I was looking for. Suggestions by you guys is welcome
kyle Replacing the liquid with the buffalo sauce is a definite way to get more of that taste in there. I do the same when I’m using garlic juice to increase the amount of garlic or reduce it by maintaining the same amount of liquid to allow the mix to stuff. Sounds like you have a great product there.

Made my version of Texas hot links with pork and beef. Smoke them up, just pulled them from the smoker and waiting for them to cool so that I can get them in the vacuum bags.

I just had a baked potato for dinner tonight. It doesn’t look like much, but underneath this pile of goodness is a baked potato. You cannot see it, but the tater had a little butter, salt, pepper, sour cream and my shredded smoked cheddar. Then piled on the pulled pork with my homemade BBQ sauce, more smoked cheddar and some Cowboy Candy canned from my garden last year. There was definitely alot going on with the different flavors, but it was one tasty meal.

made 25 pounds of brats today. Half are WI brats ( craisins, wild rice and cheddar) and half I tried buffalo blue cheese. I started with blue ribbon brat mix and added hi temp blue cheese and franks buffalo powder. Too tired to cook one tonight so I will try them in the morning, they do smell good tho.
kyle Those really look good & that’s a whole lotta sausage to boot!

kyle just be careful when using the liquid if it has a lot of vinegar in it. I know that you are going to cut it with some water, but too much vinegar will affect your bind.

YooperDog I was thinking that since they will be fresh (then frozen) and not smoked the vinegar might not affect them as much. I could be wrong
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle I use vinegar sometimes in making Mexican chorizo and it will create a crumbly finished cooked product. If I go a little lighter on the vinegar I can create sausages that can be grilled w/o falling apart. Just my experience with trial and error. Wine and tequila has a similar effect from my experiments.

johnsbrewhouse those look great. Brisket and sausage are what I think of first for BBQ.
About 2 weeks ago I was reading everything I could find online for making an authentic Texas sausage I’d get at a Lockhart or Hill country BBQ. I’d love to hear more about your recipe! -

You have a recipe for your hot links you would be willing to share? I have been on a year long quest to make the perfect hot link. -
johnsbrewhouse those sausage look great what is the ratio of beef and pork
gus4416 3 lbs. pork to 2 lbs. ground beef. actually could use more beef, but I used what I had. Next time I’ll add either my brisket or rib eye trim ground. The better ratio would be 3 lbs. beef, 2 lbs. pork.
