So I was at a MN Wild game last night and saw a sausage that had jalapenos and cheese curds, and I got to thinking that this is an excellent combination to try. Cheese curds I think are a high temp cheese ( they typically bread them and fry them) so why not dice them up and put into the sausage.
I have tried xutfuzzy's sausage recipe and it was good, so I am using that as a base. I'll bold my additions / changes below:
1. My favorite beer is a Jalapeno Cream ale from a local craft brewery. It has a ton of flavor but not necessary the heat, so I would love to add this to the mix. Does anyone see any issues with this?
2. If you haven't had cheese curds they are really salty, so Im wondering if I should reduce or omit the 5 tsp salt from the recipe?
3. It will be my first time using cure #1. any advice?
4. I don't have an electric smoker so I am going to use my father in laws WSM, with a charcoal snake. any suggestions / advice?
More to come on this. I am planning on making the sausage in the next few weeks, but wanted to get the research done in advance.
