I thought NFDM was more of a binder, rather than moisturizer. If you salt and cure your meat(s) for a couple or three days first, you should have excellent bind without needing the milk powder -- 0 added carbs -- there ya go!

I use it as a binder an I think it gives the Kielbasi a little extra taste. As I said my fresh doesn't have it mix the meat real well it will bind good.

Looks good. I made a batch similar to this a few weeks ago. A suggestion if ya run short on pork fat. I use cheap bacon ends. Works awesome and gives great flavor. Try it! You needs to make sure the bacon ends are half frozen when ya grind.

Richie, I just logged on to see your fabulous kielbasa! Always wanted to try it and now I am. Thanks for the recipe. Where do you get casing? Thanks again for the inspiration.

PS - Kraut and pierogis too! Transplant to Denver from outside Pittsburgh!
 
Looks real tasty! All they need now is a quality bun, mustard, diced onion and a cold beer!

Hawg we do have a bakery that has great buns,never a shortage of cold ones or 30

For something different, I tried 32mm collagen casings. They work great if you are tired of untying and pre rinsing gawd casings. They do cost a little more but small price to pay for the time invested.

Mark Thank you I have tried fresh collagen casing as well as the rest,soaking and flushing is by far the best for a good finished sausage JMHO
