That is a great price, and fantastic looking sausage. Usually $1.49 on sale here. About once a year, my local Kroger affiliate will have a store sale at $.99 lb. I try to stock up then.
Thanks mneeley! Wish I had more freezer space! I would have bought more! If I did not already own 4 freezers-I would have bought a chest freezer just to buy more! LOL!
 
Thanks Keith, for the video. he had me drooling when he squizzes it and bite into it .

That is moving up to the top of my must do list.
Thanks for doing yours, is yours the same as his recipe, I just printed his off.

No, not the exact same recipe. Nix the oregano and thyme and you will be extremely close though.

Then why did you link the video? I've tried 2 of their recipes and was less than impressed.
 
Made 192# of smoke sausage today with some of the guys at the firehouse. Will smoke them Saturday and Sunday for the guys. Pics. When they are done.

Mixing the meat...

I can not post the recipe I used. I wish I could, But I got it from a local business that makes money selling it locally and I promised I would not share it. Wish I could because I would. Also, How am I to know you were less than impressed with some of Eric's recipes? Seriously.....

Take out the Oregano and Thyme and you will be extremely close to what is sold around me locally. That Is as much as I can tell you.
 
All looks good . I just did the Italian onion sausage from Poli .
It's fresh , but really good .
A lot going on in there . I added a roasted red pepper to it .
The green onion flavor really comes through .

also ended up with a little less than 40# of ground pork in meat bags I put in the freezer. Why not? I mean...$0.87 per # is stupid cheap.
I was doing the same . That way you can thaw a pound and mix it up for whatever you need .

Heres something else I do . I use a pack of store bought taco seasoning per pound of pork grind , then freeze . I use it for taco meat instead of beef . Just add the water to the skillet that the package calls for while cooking ( to control the sodium ) .
 
very nice work inda.............👍
 
If you look closely, the sausage is splotchy with grey cured looking areas, and bright red looking areas. The bright red areas are where the sausages were touching curled up in a bag on ice. No air contact....but it is cured.

Thanks for the grey/red info. If you made 200lbs of this sausage....that must be one tastey sausage! LOOKS GREAT!
 
IDS, Very impressive and a lot of hard work making all that sausage up. Looks delicious and great color on the smoked goodies !
