30lbs beef chorizo sticks/bulk

[elginplowboy]

Mixed up a batch of chorizo using chefRob recipe without the sauce. Ohhhhhh man this is good. Test fry was spicy and not greasy like the store crap around here. Store stuff is bad had to make my own. No lymph nodes, salivary glands, cheeks, noses or tripe in this. 15lbs snack sticks and 15 bulk.

Did you use all beef?

 

[elginplowboy]

Yep, all beef. 80/20 ground chuck was on sale at the local grocery store so I loaded the cart. Traditionally its made with pork or a combination of pork/beef. After the fry test I'm liking the all beef. We will see how the stix turn out.

How's the flavor and the texture? Is there anything you would change?

 

[bellaru]

Great job. That looks amazing

 

[elginplowboy]

Flavor is really good, texture is a little dry. Might pull them a little sooner next batch but for a test run it is considered a success and the folks I gave some bulk too say it was really good! Whoohoo words i like to hear. Thanks everyone
