that's what I was thinking.

I LOVE sausage, for the flavour and texture!
but I don't care for the casings. I'll often take them off if I can, or just spit them out if I can do so discreetly.

with loaves, I could cube them, steam them, and have the best of both worlds!

Exactly!!
Here I thought I was the only one who did that.

Sorry for the HiJack, Justin, but this had to be said.

Hey all, made up a small batch of kielbasa with a buddy wanting to get into sausage making! We also made some @bdskelly brats & some @chefwillie Texas hot links! Sorry, no pics of them but had to give a shout out to those guys... their recipes are top notch! Thanks to you both!

We used @tropics recipe for the kielbasa, it’s a keeper!!! Thanks Richie for sharing your recipe!

No prep or stuffing pics, things were a bit busy!

I did snap a pic of the smoking of it, in the MES 30 using pecan dust in the AMNPS!

Took bout 8 hrs to get to 155*. Started out at 100* with no smoke for an hour, then added AMNPS! Then bumped the temp up 10* each hour or so til IT was reached!

Let bloom in the fridge a few days & here is what we ended up with!

You can bring the kielbasa next Saturday evening for our annual Shrimp Boil:D
 
Those are some nice links WHB! Awesome job!

Thanks Mike, appreciate the kind words & like! In 12 1/2 lbs, had two blow outs... I'll take that, I usually have a couple more than that! LOL
 
That's sure is some fine looking Kielbasa Justin.

Point for sure.

Thanks Chris, some of this is going to be used for some of them pork shots! Appreciate ya dropping a line & the like!
 
Oh man, that makes me think of my Mom's Kielbasa with potatoes-n-cabbage.

Nice sausages, great work, they look really good.
Like!

Thanks for the kind words & like Chile! Man, that recipe of your Mom's sounds awesome!
 
Oh SNAP! Lookie there at them great looking sausages! LOVE IT!
I so badly want to make Richie's recipe Kielbassa! But I still have a lot of TSM mix left
 
those look delicious

but how'd that bug get inside there? :eek:
Looks like you killed it though... cut it right in half!;)

Thank you! Hmm, not sure.. Just some extra protein, right? LOL.
 
Justin that is great looking kielbasa, Love the color on it as well. That is a point for sure.
Congrats on your carousel ride...

Thanks for the very kind words & point Charlie, much appreciated!
 
Man, that recipe of your Mom's sounds awesome!
My Mom would pull out her biggest pressure cooker and fill it with a couple pounds of cut up Kielbasa, a head or two of cored/quartered green cabbage, Russet potatoes peeled/halved, a chopped onion or two, a whole stick of butter, a palmful each of Kosher salt, coarse black pepper and crushed red pepper.
It only took awhile to get to temp, but quick to cook after that, don't know the heat/pressure.
Was one of my favorite dinners... Haven't had it in way too long, need to fix that.

I grew up with cabbage like that! My Mom would also do the same with fresh snap beans. Thanks for reminding me!
