Jalapeno Cheese SS

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I am wanting to try my hand at Summer Sausage. I been looking through the forum and not sure which recipe to start with. Does anyone have a recipe that they suggest for first timer?

Do not have Venison. Wish I did. Love it but don't know anyone anymore that hunts. What would be good cut of beef? Do you need cut most the fat from pork butt?

Good question, I'll defer to others on the beef. In my head I have all sausage as using venison☺.

I have tried asking process stores to sell me someone who did no pick but they they cant. Have bought some from 99 ranch but taste bland. I just watch video Disco made Very good. Might be best to just buy kit to start with?

Not an expert here, but lean beef should work just fine. May have to play with your ratio a bit though. I have trouble finding the hi-temp cheese, so last few batches I just used cheese cubes that I froze for a while. Try and see how you like it, and adjust from there. Just have fun!

OK. I figure it out. Albertson just had pork butt for .79. I did get one but going to cure it for ham. Think have some country ribs in freezer. They should work.

I am going to go ahead and try Disco's recipe. Looks like a good place to start and small recipe. I can only seem to find 1.5" casings so I guess I will just use those.
