Busy trapping at the farm but in the down time, I made 15 pounds of my knock-off Jimmy Dean Hot breakfast sausage. Love this recipe and so does the wife. Some quick pics...
I cube up pork butt into 5 pound packages and throw them in the deep freeze for later use.
They thaw quickly since the packages are pretty flat.
Seasonings pre-weighed out
15 pounds through the LEM Big Bite #8 coarse plate, seasoned, mixed.
I grind it pretty much semi-frozen.
Run through the grinder a second time, coarse plate again, bagged all 15 pounds in a giant Ziploc.
Time for an overnight rest.
Next day (Sunday)...After church, head to the farm to check the 17 dog-proof and 2 live traps.
5 more coons trapped ... decent day. Head back home.
Test patties were spot on! Time to package.
15 pounds in the freezer...
