DIY Summer Sausage

[dmatheny21]

Anyone making their own. I think I'm going to give it a shot. Gonna buy a grinder and stuffer. Any advice would be appreciated.

My uncle makes it and he bought one of those mixer things because he said it does a hell of a lot better job evening out all the crap you put in it. Especially if you do jalapeno/cheddar ones.

We are looking to upgrade our current grinder, I may have a combo unit for sale here shortly. It's stupid easy, you'll be glad you made your own

I've got a whole thread on it around here somewhere.

Nothing to it. A $10 kit Makes what would cost you $200 from a processor.

This came in the mail yesterday

Is it recommended to freeze the grinded meat for a period of time (to kill parasites) before using. That would kind of defeat my purposes if it's required.

It should be mentioned that you want to grind the meat with the coarse plate

I've never tried a jerky shooter. When I make burger jerky, I get 0% lean (no beef fat added) from my processor. I mixed it up with my spices and roll it out to about 1/4" thick with a rolling pin and trim it to exactly fit my dehydrator trays. Then I score it with a pizza cutter. After it dries, it breaks at the scores. It's a lot easier on the teeth but I still prefer real stripped jerky that's chews like a wood chip.

I ordered a spice kit for the summer sausage. I have a bunch of burger left over from last year so this will be a great way to make some space in the freezer.

I might have to give this a whirl.

I make my own but just buy the spice packs as casings from academy. I threw a few logs in the smoker last year and they were jam up!

I think you will find that you need high temp cheese

This^ Regular cheese will melt while cooking making a mess and then what's left will melt out if you heat it later.

The majority of all my grounds go to jerky and sausage. I've been having good results with the cabelas seasonings.

A jerky gun can both make jerky and stuff sausage casings.

Used the gun to make jerky from ground meat the first time last week. Still like cutting it into strips but was pleasantly suprised on how it turned out. Summer sausage will be coming up shortly.

I didn't feel like reading the whole thing, but can I use deer burger with fat in it?
