Had to do a taste test of the latest sausage batch to come off the smoker. Putting the finishing touches on 200 lbs of Mennonite sausage.

Pretty simple. 50/50 venison and pork shoulder, course ground.



Add Mennonite seasoning packets from Halfords Hides (23 lbs meat and 2 cups water). Mix thoroughly by hand. Stuff into 32-35 mm hog casings (red ring).



Twist into desired lengths and hand in a cool space to dry.



Cold smoke for 4 hours. I used hickory or alder. Let bloom in fridge for 24 hours.



Vacuum seal and freeze.

When it’s time to cook I put it in a covered roasting pan with a bit of water and bake at 350 for 45min- 1 hr.

Thanks!! I am a bit leery of using the prepackaged mixes as I have only done recipes from scratch. It seems you are happy with the Halford mix so sometime before Christmas I am going to try a batch.

Yours look like they turned out superb!!

I actually like the kit from DnR in Calgary better, but never make it down there.

Default Homemade bean recipe

Hi all, I have tried a few homemade bean recipes from the internet but just doesn't seem they turn out how I would like it. I was wondering if anyone had a real hum dinger of a bean recipe. I am looking for something that would be close (and of course better) to the Bush's Beans Original.

Thanks in advance!

I bought three whole strip loins from Costco and have dry aged the first two for 35 days.

Keeping one and aging it to the 50 day mark. See what happens.

Going to BBQ a steak tonight off the 35 dayers.

Armadillo eggs. Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, then wrapped with ground beef, then bacon. And a couple made the same way, using red peppers instead of jalapeños for my boy.
