They do taste like Pastrami 

They could have used a little more fat

I made these last year with fresh Corned Beef

They sure look good Richie!

I wonder how they would taste if you put some cubed Swiss cheese in them.

Kinda like a Reuben without the kraut.

Point!

Hi Richie, those look tasty!

A big dog with kraut would be great! 

 

[crankybuzzard]

I would be all over those! Great idea for brats and well worth Corning an extra flat just for them!

ETA: pointing for the idea!

Charlie I almost missed your reply, The ones I did last year with the fresh Corned Beef,is the better way to go you can freeze them without cooking. 

I made these so I could make room for some new stock. Last years

Looks great,I'm thinking about some brats later.

This is a great idea.

How was the bind? The cut pic looks kinda crumbly.

I can imagine all kinda ideas with this.

Adam when I ground the meat it seamed really wet,I added more NFDM then norm. It most likely was to lean of a mix,I am getting a few more to do another batch.I want to see if it was from being frozen.Thanks for the point I appreciate it

OK, I didn't mean any disrespect.  Hope you didn't take it that way.  

Just what I seen in the pic.

Thank You

Gary I hope you are feeling better. I bought some casings from a local super market,decided to check them,a lot of small pieces.Had to run to a store I've been getting casing for years.I'll probably cook these on the grill in beer with kraut

Thanks for the point I appreciate it

That was cut with a wooden Spatular,leave me to believe the frozen corned beef, may have been the cause of the crumbly sausage
