I use the supreme pizza (big hit getting kids into venison ), blue ribbon, hatch green Chile and the fanciest flavor is longanisa ,it is kinda like a teriyaki but with more flavor (garlic, pineapple, paprika) High temp cheese available: mozzarella, pepper Jack, cheddar and ghost

@mrobisr said in Grinder Plate preferences: It just depends on your preference as a lot have said. For andouille I grind once through a 10mm, for summer sausage I grind twice through 10mm, and for the genoa salami I just did I ground the pork and fat through 10mm once and the beef through a 10mm and 4.5mm. That’s my exact combination for both mentioned (andouille and Genoa)

@fallis10 So, you are wanting a sausage seasoning to add this maple syrup too? if it is breakfast I would say H 110-C or if you are wanting a bratwurst syle I would recommend something fairly basic like the Jerrys Brat so it doesn’t have a bunch of other flavors to contend with.

1.32oz for future reference if you search for conversion chart, they have a chart with seasoning broke out by 1# and 5# batches.

@gerygaub The carrot fiber will help for sure and as long as you are near or above 20% fat you should be okay. The issue with that is that Ground Sirloin is sometimes 90% or more lean. You might want to try adding some Cold Phosphate for moisture retention? Maybe hold off on adding that for your first batch and just add it if it comes out dry? The Cheeseburger Cheddarwurst comes with sure cure so it can be smoked or you can leave out the cure and make it fresh. If you add the cure and smoke it just make sure you get REALLY good protein extraction to help prevent the fat from rendering out during the smoking process. If you are not curing and smoking and are making a fresh product let it cook at lower temperatures initially on the grill or in the pan, same goal here we don’t want any fat to render out. Your creation sounds amazing and I don’t know if you knew it or not but we have declared this the Month of Bacon at Walton’s so when you make these please post pictures of them to Meatgistics and if you want either the Meatgistics or Waltons Facebook or twitter or wherever!

@WinterSausageFest That is pretty awesome and very creative! Did you end up putting any actual meat in it, or is it entirely a mix of fun fillers?
