Adding Water????

[johnnyo]

OK, got my Brats & Bangors ground, mixed, & fried a sample of each... GOOD!
Getting ready to stuff using my 5 lb Grizzly Stuffer.. Is it recommended to add water to the meat to make it easier to stuff, or should I just push the meat through as is..

Well, try without. IF it seems WAY difficult, add half a cup icewater.
On edit...Or a half a beer :{)

Johno -

I only add liquids when suggested by the recipe or if it seems a bit dry from powdered milk or other powdered binders. ENjoy!

YEAH MoM ! damn the torpedos! If it seems difficult, MAN UP and git-R-done!

Well, I got 'er done. Thanks to both for your help.. I used beer for a thinner, half in the meat, & half in my stomach.. did 'em in a crock pot per suggestion in my other post.. turned out excellent, then finished them on the Q..
yummy..

Can't go wrong with beer!

Sometimes addind liquid when not called for in a recipe can cause casings to burst when/if frying.
