Jalapeño Cheddar sausage using the recipe shown on Meat Church from Dayne Weaver of Dayne's Craft BBQ. The wife and I both have a low tolerance for spicy heat, so I just cut out the jalapeño powder and I seeded and de-ribbed the fresh Jalapeños. The result was exactly what I hoped it would be. I did the 3 day process, cutting curing and seasoning day one, grinding adding the milk powder, jalapeño, cheddar and stuffing day two, then smoking on day three. It will be a bigger batch next time. I recommend the recipe.
NOTE: The Lang smoker these were done on is for sale, see my ad in the classified ads forum section.

In the smoker at 2 hours, flipped them and inserted a probe.

Out of the smoker at 155° and into the ice bath.

Put two of them back on the smoker at 250° and 30 minutes later they were plump, juicy with a lot of snap and crunch to the casing.

Great bind on the casing, and the grind texture was perfect.

Bloomed for a bit in the fridge then vacuum sealed and ready for the freezer. Next time there will be a double batch.

Looks great, and the cut shot shows it off nicely.
also one of my favorite kinds also.
There was a 3 cheese and jalapeno sausage at the local Sobeys, but they only sell a few different times of the year for some reason.

I guess I should start making my own.

That sausage looks outstanding! I got the chance to go to Dayne's a while back and the sausage was excellent. He had a blueberry gouda sausage I thought I'd hate, but it was incredible.
