well.. I woke up early.. got some meat from the store... set up my new "stuffing prep station" in my kitchen (I have a commercial stainless steel door I plan to make a permanent table out of.. but for now I just put ontop of my kitchen table) How FUN was this.....
I started with 5lbs of pork butt for some cajun sausage I found in one of my sausage books, and added green onions to it...
layed out the seasoning portions... etc..
spices for the creole sausage... will post recipe later...
ground up...
spices and onions and parsley with some water to make a paste
all mixed with the pork...
OK.. NO LAUGHING!!! It took a bit to figure the stuffer and the hog casings out.. (hog casings where interesting to say.. but I got the hang of it by the end) so the first run was "air-ie" second was to full.. thrid I think was good...
creole sausage in the hog casings...
x 2
I did 5lbs of LEM brat seasoning to.. pictures are no where to be found ??? but.. youll see on the grill..
brats down bottom.... cajun up top.. I had a blow out on the cajun sausage, and the flare ups kinda burned them so I put them on the top shelf... beer bath ready with some onions once the brats get some color...
I had to slice the brats up in bite size cute cause I didnt have any knives for individual peoples at the bar. but.. soooooooo good. much better than any store bought that Ive had..
I didnt get any pictures this go round of the cajun sausage.. it went to quick.. but I only cooked 2.5lbs of each kind of sausage.. so I have plenty left at the house...
OVERALL..... HOW FUN AND RELAXING WAS SAUSAGE STUFFING!! I might be crazy.. and no one my bar really noticed that it was fresh made sausage.. but, they are drunk most of the time... but It felt GREAT to make this.. I CANT wait to make some more. pork butts are 99cents a pound.. looks like Ill have to stock up.. I have my new addiction to go on with my other addictions... cant wait to start curing some sausage.. and so on..
THanks for looking..
Happy Sunday! (go cowboys? we barely pulled a win with 2nd worst team in the nfl).. sigh.. but the food was great!!!
