By request it was time for another batch of Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage and since I had a long weekend off I decided to also make a bunch more Pastrami. Picked up a Choice Brisket from Costco(No Prime) and also an Angus from Restaurant Depot. For the pork I decided on the precut Pork Belly at Costco with the idea of also doing some PB Burnt Ends you all had me salivating over, lol. I also recently purchased my first vac sealer and wanted to do SmokinAls brisket Pastrami again but vac seal like he did instead of in a ziplock. Wow, it was so cool to see the spice just suck right in the brisket while I sealed. I'm gonna like this new toy!!!! Why did I wait so long to get one of these, lol. For the sausage I decided to use Chudds starter instead of making the seasoning to save time and experimented with beer in place of some of the water(note. Not a fan. Will go back to water only) Definitely getting a little better at linking and the casings from my butcher are just a game changer. Thanks to you all for your tips!!!!! Just thought I'd share some pics.
Black Beans and Tostones made for a fine meal
Can't wait to see the difference vac sealing does as opposed to just ziplocks.
The leftover pork belly nugs coated in Three Little Pigs KC Championship rub, smoked then wrapped with butter, brown sugar and canine pepper. Wow, these were really tasty. Cosco cut was a little too thin so I will be buying whole pieces and chunking em a little bigger. It was a busy 3 days but Meatapaluzza may become a new tradition. Thanks for all your inspiration!!!!!!! I'll be sending you all my cardiologist bills, LOL.
