    My Christmas Meal

    This year like all the others our family had a great time on Christmas.  The main thing was being together and all in good health.  That is always the most important part of Christmas and we thank God for that every day.  The only thing missing this year was the homemade German dumplings. Not...

    CrankyBuzzards Swedish Sausage

    Ton of computer problems and now it's finally fixed.  Thankfully my son-in-law had time to come over and fix everything.  Anyway, I've been meaning to make Swedish sausage and a big thanks to Cranky Buzzard for his recipe.  I first tried the 3 pound batch first for a test, and then I made up a...

    CHILI DOGS AGAIN

    Done with the polish and now I'm done with another batch of chili dogs.  Deer camp will be happy.  Lot's to eat and lot's to give away to the boy's up north.  I just can't wait to get up there.  First thing I do when I get out of my truck is open a cold one.  A good dark beer, maybe in a pumkin...

    Smoked Polish with some Heat

    Got busy making 25 pounds of polish sausage.  Most of this is going up north to deer camp for some meals and give away's.  Made this many times but this time I added some heat.  It was not planned but I added the crushed red pepper right before I mixed everything.  Turned out good and had just...

    SMOKED BROWN TROUT

    Caught some brown trout this past June.  They were between 12 and 14 inches.  I did get one that was 20 inches but I will do that one with a lake trout I caught later.  I always use the same brine, but this time I thought I would add some cure#1 to it.  Just enough to give the fish some color...

    BEEF SALAMI

    Time to get ready for deer camp, again.  Hopefully next time the title will be Venison Salami.  This was the first time I  used this seasoning from Curley's.  What I found using this seasoning is it has some tang to it.  I have made salami in the past with different recipe's and no tang.  Of...

    RING BOLOGNA

    Trying something new again.  This time ring bologna.  Many years ago there was some quality ring bologna.  Course ground was my favorite texture.  When you buy the ring bologna in stores what do you get?  A whole page of ingredients that most folks cant understand.  So I ordered some from...

    Bottom Sirloin Smokin

    Also know as a ball tip, it is a lean piece of meat with not much of a fat cap.  Normally I get this as a steak when they are on sale, but I wanted to try it as a roast.  When I do get the steaks I marinate them all the time because they are so lean.  So I told the guy's in the meat dept. to...

    Jalapeno Baby Backs

    Try'd something new.  Wanted some heat on my ribs so this idea popped into my head.  Sure I could add some crushed hot peppers or spicy sauce but I like trying something new [maybe not new idea but it is for me].  Two slabs of baby backs.  One with just rub and one that will have the rub...

    Made Some Willies Texas Style Hot Links

    Wrote that recipe down awhile back and sure enough a friend wanted some hot sausage.  Brought over 5 pounds of pork butt for me to use and he wanted it lightly smoked.  I told him, "What do you think this is a drive up window like McDonalds"? LOL  Oh, well, I had another recipe with jalapenos...

    I'ts Hot Out--Made Meat Loaf

    So it's hot out and humid as well, time to make meat loaf LOL.  Trying to use up stuff in my freezer so I took out some ground beef.  Had a box of Lipton beefy onion soup mix on hand, looked at the back of it, and away we go.  I have my own recipe and I'm not much into trying stuff out on a back...

    Kraut With Ribs

    "Your going to make this in this heat"!!!  Yes I am, but on the grill.  Close to 90 degrees and humid and I thought out of the box or was it just because I had a craving for one of my favorite meals in the fall and winter.  Never made this on the grill but there is always a first time.  There...

    CHILI DOGS

    Been busy lately but not busy enough to make some chili dogs last Wednesday.  I think I posted the smoked one's I made but this time I made 10 pounds of fresh one's for the grill.  Just enough heat without affecting the flavor.  One thing I have noticed when I go to service counters around here...

    Jalapeno Summer Sausage

    Had to try Curley's jalapeno summer sausage seasoning when I ordered another batch of seasonings.  Only got the pack enough for 10 pounds.  Besides I got a call from my son-in law out of the blue to see if I could "fix him up with some summer sausage" for him and his buddies for a golf outing...

    Pepper Sticks

    Family wanted to have some sticks made.  They just don't last long around here.  This time around I wanted to go with a little Kick in the stick.  So I ordered me some pepper stick seasoning from Curley's.  Enough for the 10 pounds of 80/20 burger I had.  Well here is what I used: 10 pounds of...

    Porketta Sausage

    Never made porketta sausage before so I had to try it.  I've had porketta pork roasts at times and they were good so why not in sausage form.  Checked out Curley's for the seasoning and got a pack enough for 25 pounds.  Thought I would make some fresh, bulk, and smoked.  So I used cure #1 for...

    Beer Can Burger

    Well, from a Juicy Lucy to the Beer Can Burger.  Kind of like a Lucy but without the extra patty.  Really like these!!  You can fill them with what you want and I don't need no letttuce leaves or tomato slices on my bun with these.  My daughter showed me a pic on one while over at her house and...

    Juicy Lucy With Some Heat

    Made up some Juicy Lucy's yesterday.  You can do a lot with those and that's the great thing about them.  I was at my granddaughters birthday party and made up some burgers for the guests.  Some wanted just a regular style burger, some with add-ons and for guy's like me who like a good burger...

    Three Meat Breakfast Sausage

    Why three types of meat?  Because that's what I had to work with HA HA.  I'm getting to like adding chicken to my sausage mix.  I believe it adds some flavor to it.  I also had some breakfast seasoning left, but didn't want to make 25 pounds, so I went for 12 1/2.  I'm also starting to like just...

    High Temp Cheese Beef Sticks

    Let's see if I can post this while the grandkids are here and needing my help often LOL.  Wanted to try sticks with cheese so I made a batch with formed bacon seasoning from Curley's.  Bought enough of that seasoning for 100 pounds but I just use it as I need it for smaller batches.  I really...
