    Texan Jalapeno Sausage - Take 1

    Texas = beef ....I live in Alberta. Beef is not an ingredient it's a staple. We don't add beef to stuff we add stuff to beef.. Try some beef fat with your fatback...Won't change your texture... They look great..Turned out real nice... Leroy

    Cure #1 in Sausage?

    The use of cure #1 is to inhibit bacteria growth. Criticail at 120F..You don't really need it if your sausage is gonna be cooked right away..Cool to at least 90F in your ice bath..I personally would use it.. Thanks Leroy

    Need Texas Style Jalapeno Sausage Recipe

    I've dried jalapanos..But they were really dry to make flakes or ground fine for a sprinkle on whatever..The ones you are useing are they totally dry or as I would suspect more of a leathery texture. Never made cheddar/jalapino smokies...Last year had a bumper crop of peppers..Doesn't take much...

    Vertical stuffer is the answer. Also get a hand with stuffing husband ,son or daughter. My son been helping since he was 10 he'll be 25 in a month. I got started by giving a freind a hand once in '89 we've been at it since. Thanks Leroy
