Title: Venison summer sausage
Post by: Piker on January 17, 2010, 04:10:17 PM
I just finished making some sausage. I used the regular spices but added mustard seed, mac and h.t. cheese. They were too big for my smoker so I did them in the oven @ 170 for 7 hrs. i.t. of 154 F. It turned out great as I must have ate 3/4 lb. during slicing.(http://)(http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/piker_dave/DavesFolder030.jpg)  (http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/piker_dave/DavesFolder031.jpg)    (http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/piker_dave/DavesFolder032.jpg)   (http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/piker_dave/DavesFolder033.jpg)     Piker

That brings back some old memories. When I was little and going to elementary school mom made me meat,macaroni and cheese sandwiches. Those were my fav back then. I haven't had it since I was probably 10 years old. Nice looking sausage Piker.

I used the recipe in Olds Place by Trout. I ommited the liquid smoke but added 1/2 cup whole mustard seed, 2 cups macroni cooked and 1 lb/ Hitemp cheddar cheese. I did the grinding, mixing, stuffing all on 1st day, let rest in frig. overnite and then into oven {convection] @ 170 f until i.t. of 154 f about 6 hrs. I had a mix of 7 lbs. venison, 7 lbs. of picnic shoulder. Piker

OK Piker I just have to know. How drunk do you have to be to say "I'm going to put Mac and Cheese in my summer sausage"??  ;D ;D I aint saying its wrong or that it doesn't sound really good, Just aint never heard of it before.

Thanks Piker

I love Mac N Chees with diced sausage in it, now sausage with Mac N Chees in it sounds good. Like 10.5 said "How drunk do you have to be" to come up with a combination like this.  ;D

Goin to give this a try when I make some of MY own sausage.

thats funny guys as it is a pretty popular item up here as it has been in deli counters for years even since I was a kid. So that makes it old. Wait until you see ny next batch. It will be pickle, pimento and olives using the same summer sausage recipe. Piker

Piker I have a silly question for you and it's why do you take the casings off an does it keep OK with off.
Thanks

Yes. I used to freeze the whole thing and then thaw and slice but now I age 24 hrs. take the casing off, slice, vacum pack and into the freezer. I keep about 2 lbs. in the frig in tupperware and it lasts at least 2 weeks.  actually it gets better as it ages. Piker
