    PapaSop I’ve seen hatch green chili breakfast sausage in stores before, have you ever made anything like that?

      Just re-looked at that topic. Won’t do it from scratch but looks worth trying.

        The holidays finally over. It’s frigging cold. And I’m out of sausages.

        15# summer sausage ( cracked pepper and garlic)
        10# breakfast sausage (110 southern pork)
        10# snack sticks ( jalapeno & pepper cheese)
        10# brats (Jerry’s seasoning)
        5#. Hot dogs ( Excalibur chilli dog)

        Found this a lot to do on a weekend with no helper but got through it. To much cleaning between batches. Hands are still wrinkled. Some pics and notes along the way.

        IMG_20200110_143830-756x1344.jpg IMG_20200110_151757-756x1344.jpg
        25lbs each of venison and pork. The nine pound tube of ground pork saved one step but the meat was pretty smeared. Wouldn’t recommend if your wanting particle definition.

        IMG_20200111_120404-1344x756.jpg
        Snack sticks and dogs. First ever try for hot dogs and linking them. Not bad but over stuffed the dogs.

        IMG_20200111_141850-756x1344.jpg
        Breakfast sausage and brats. A little difficult to stuff by yourself using natural casing. Got these a bit tighter than I wanted but…a few blow outs when twisting.

        IMG_20200112_105649-756x1344.jpg IMG_20200112_105930-756x1344.jpg
        Had these stuffed so tight one split where the meat probe went in. That’s a first.

        IMG_20200112_145304-756x1344.jpg
        Used my new sous vide circulator for the first time. Worked great. Everything smoked went here to finish. What a time saver. Tried this last spring and won’t go back. Thanks@parksider.

        Everything turned out great. The kids loved everything. The sticks were the best I’ve ever made. Used Walton’s collagen casing and sure gel for the first time. Even when stuffing the casings I could tell these were better quality. Perhaps the stickiest meat as well. I’m guessing the sure gel had something to do with that. Started to get a little wrinkling but water bath took care of that. All casings will come from Walton’s exclusively.

        Whew…I need a beer. 🍻

        PapaSop Just getting started with experimenting on snack sticks. Was it ghost pepper or hot pepper you used. Hot or extremely Hot?

          Nice. That’s what I do… Experiment. These were Walton’s Hi Temp Pepper cheese. I have the ghost but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Actually a bit nervous about the ghost. Sweating and crying doesn’t seem fun. Lol.

                          Yep, definitely had more than one. It was pretty workie.
                          I’m thinking they were 2 1/2 in. Cut in thirds and packaged.

                              Everything turned out great. The kids loved everything. The sticks were the best I’ve ever made. Used Walton’s collagen casing and sure gel for the first time. Even when stuffing the casings I could tell these were better quality. Perhaps the stickiest meat as well. I’m guessing the sure gel had something to do with that. Started to get a little wrinkling but water bath took care of that. All casings will come from Walton’s exclusively.

                              Whew…I need a beer. 🍻

                              PapaSop WOW! Incredible job. All of it looks amazing. Just got my stuffer from Waltons and I’m itching to get going with it. Maybe this weekend.

                                Yes it was. Very, very good. The #110 Southern may be my new go to for breakfast seasoning.

                                PapaSop The #110 is my current favorite breakfast sausage right now, before that it was the #1504. My wife and girls like it as well but I think they prefer the Holly, so whenever I make breakfast sausage I end up making 2 kinds and we alternate when cooking breakfast on the weekends. Any of those 3 works very well in sausage gravy but to me the 110 shines.

                                    The holidays finally over. It’s frigging cold. And I’m out of sausages.

                                    15# summer sausage ( cracked pepper and garlic)
                                    10# breakfast sausage (110 southern pork)
                                    10# snack sticks ( jalapeno & pepper cheese)
                                    10# brats (Jerry’s seasoning)
                                    5#. Hot dogs ( Excalibur chilli dog)

                                    Found this a lot to do on a weekend with no helper but got through it. To much cleaning between batches. Hands are still wrinkled. Some pics and notes along the way.

                                    IMG_20200110_143830-756x1344.jpg IMG_20200110_151757-756x1344.jpg
                                    25lbs each of venison and pork. The nine pound tube of ground pork saved one step but the meat was pretty smeared. Wouldn’t recommend if your wanting particle definition.

                                    IMG_20200111_120404-1344x756.jpg
                                    Snack sticks and dogs. First ever try for hot dogs and linking them. Not bad but over stuffed the dogs.

                                    IMG_20200111_141850-756x1344.jpg
                                    Breakfast sausage and brats. A little difficult to stuff by yourself using natural casing. Got these a bit tighter than I wanted but…a few blow outs when twisting.

                                    IMG_20200112_105649-756x1344.jpg IMG_20200112_105930-756x1344.jpg
                                    Had these stuffed so tight one split where the meat probe went in. That’s a first.

                                    PapaSop the summer look great. What was you grinding sequences plate sizes? They have a defined texture I always like seeing all the cheese peppers even the fat!

                                      Thanks. Once through the 7mm (1/4) in plate and once through the 4.5mm (3/16 app). I like a little definition to the meat. Cheese was not ground but added near the end of mixing cycle.

                                        PapaSop Meat Run pt. Duex.

                                        Jerky was the last part for this month. 16# total. Two of this is restructured. Never tried this before. Everything came out great. Definitely prefer the whole muscle.

                                        First run with my new dehydrator. What a beast. Highly recommend it. Meat was done in half the time compared to old Nesco. 16# and still had three trays not used. In fact that’s what I’ll call it. “The Beast”.

                                        IMG_20200118_120915-1344x756.jpg IMG_20200118_130150-1344x756.jpg IMG_20200118_192014-1344x756.jpg

                                        Even the blue light is cool.

                                          PapaSop I love that dehydrator. I moved mine to the shop to finish our jerky runs. It streamlined the process so much that I can almost keep up with demand. Lol.
