Hey everybody, hope all is well. So I just started dabbling in sausage making so I still have plenty of questions. I just picked up two butts ($1.29/lb really good for what I've seen around Colorado Springs), I deboned them and got them in the freezer till the weekend. Gonna have 25lbs of meat and I want to do 5ea 5lb batches.
1- breakfast sausage
1- chorizo
1- sweet Italian
1- sweet/hot Italian
1- sweet Italian with green peppers and onions in it (and here's where the question is)
- I spend a ton of time drooling and searching on this site but this is one thing i haven't seen or been able to find on the site. I want to mix diced raw green peppers and onions with the meat and seasoning before stuffing into 32mm casings. I know they will fit through the stuffing tube and in my head it makes sense that they will cook just like the meat cooks, but I'm not sure if there would be an issue I can't foresee. I will be fresh freezing almost all of these cause obviously I can't eat 25lbs of meat in one sitting, although sometimes I feel like I did after meals.
Any input will be appreciated, and of course I know "no pics = didn't happen" so pics to come regardless of what responses I get.
