    Armadillo Eggs in the Shell

    If you haven’t heard of Armadillo eggs before, they are a cheese stuffed jalapeno wrapped in sausage and smoked. While they are very tasty, I decided they would be better with a seasoned crispy crust. Welcome to Armadillo Eggs in the Shell! I used my OFG Breakfast Sausage for the sausage but...

    SAUSAGE BRISKET MEATLOAF

    We make this all the time, but this time I changed a couple of things in the recipe & really like this one. Here is the new recipe, now remember it's just Judy & I so this is a small meatloaf. But you big eaters can certainly scale it up. My favorite meatloaf 1 lb ground brisket 1 lb ground...

    Hearty Maple Breakfast Sausage

    Just got a hog processed and I needed to clear out some pork from the freezer, so I decided to make breakfast sausage. I still had some maple syrup left over from bacon making, so I used that to give it some sweetness. The seasonings laid out for 10lbs of sausage: 1 c Grade B maple syrup...

    Collagen casings, any tips to make less chewy

    I really like the ease of stuffing sausage using collagen casings but I find they can be a little chewy, however my fingernails are growing great! Anybody have any tips to soften them up? I just load them up right out of the packaging dry.

Ground three times, twice through a 4.5mm plate to finish. Recipe was as follow: 7.33 kg of meat and fat...

    Kielbasa

    I had neighbours who made Kielbasa. It is a Polish sausage. I have always loved it and have tried to make it several times to improve the final product to what I wanted. In doing my research, a lot of modern recipes call for additives to improve texture. However, I wanted a more traditional...

    My Cheap Turkey Post

    After the holidays, turkeys go on sale and I stock up the freezer! At 69¢ a lb. it makes a great smoking bargain! I would venture to go out on a limb and say, that other than the holidays, its not a regular "go-to" BBQ item you see too often around here. But I'll make my case here in that turkey...

    Antique cook books for Christmas

    An early Christmas present from my grandma. A couple recipe books that her mom (my great grandma) had one of which has several hand written recipes including a couple for sausage. Going to have to do some work to be able to fully read them as they are quite faded.

    Venison Summer Sausage

    This is my first attempt at venison summer sausage. Got the meat, spices and cure mixed. Wrapped it in plastic stuck in the fridge. Recipe called for letting it sit for 12-24 hours. I'm using Anthony's Pink Curing Salt #1. Problem is, it looks like work is going to interfere with the timing...

    Sausage Sliders For Football Pot Luck

    My local watering hole has pot lucks on a few football Sundays, so I smoked some fatties and made sliders on Kings Hawaiian rolls. I usually use Jimmy Dean Regular, and season with cracked pepper and at least one BBQ rub. The logs take right at 3 hours with a pit temp of 225°, to reach...
