1st Time Chorizo

[Winterrider]

Thought I would try something different ( new to me )
Ready for the grinder
10# Venison
10# Pork butt

A.C. Leggs Chorizo Seasoning mixed in 3# water

Stuffed and in fridge overnight.

Going to do about 3 hr cold smoke on them tomorrow.
Not sure what I'm going to use it for yet as the wife isn't a fan of spicy.

Looks good. I make stuff all the time my wife wont eat. LOL

I have that mix . Did you add cure ? I've done links twice with it . Good flavor , not real spicy , but that depends on the person . Just did 5 lbs. and left it all bulk . Added some NFDM this time . Makes great taco meat , or mixed into meat loaf .
I never cured and smoked . Fresh links I would grill and cut into slices . Then use with peppers and onions on a flour tortilla . Like fajita's . It's good that way .
I also use the seasoning in soups or chili .

That looks great BTW . Nice work .

Waiting the results.
I have (last year) ground venison to process.
Chorizo sounds like an option.

Thanks PC, I get the eye roll anytime anything spicy is mentioned.

That looks great BTW . Nice work .

Thanks Chop and for the like. Good ideas for usage you have.
I did not put cure in as I will just set my Auber for 32° and cold smoke with some dust.

Chorizo sounds like an option.

Just something different. I have a couple other 10# bags of venison, 1 maybe Italian and not sure on other yet. Thanks for the like.

Sounds good. I like your grinder.

Thank you. LEM grinder #12. Makes darn quick work of the grinding.

Thanks ! It is the Cabelas brand. Great unit when doing sausage solo.

That's a really nice looking batch of sausage. I love chorizo!! Tracy....not so much. I bet if I made some with a good flavor that was less greasy than store bought I could get her on board with it.

Not sure what I'm going to use it

I'll PM you my address

Did you add any vinegar? I think I will try it next time

Thanks and also for the like. Just doing a cold smoke on this batch. Brother is going to try this stuff and maybe hot smoke his batch and we can swap.

Thanks Robert. The only other time I had it, it was kinda greasy. Hoping not so much with the venison.

Thanks flatbroke, no I did not use any vinegar. Talked with A.C. LEGG, said most people just stick with the mix itself. Most do not smoke , but said you may be on to something

I love Chorizo, but my wife not so much, but she loves Hot Italian Sausage!
Maybe it’s my recipe. She doesn’t like Texas hot links either, which I could eat every night!
