My little helper and I made up 3 5lb batches of sticks this weekend. I used Gregs recipe and added ½lb of sharp cheddar in each batch. This was the first time that I used cheese in sausage and was very happy with the end results. I cut it up in ¼inch pieces and was surprised that it didn,t melt. This will be my new go to recipe for sticks, the frist 2 batches were kicked up a bit but the last batch was toned down a bit for the kids. I think my wife liked them because the first batch was gone before the thrid batch was even done. ;D

Nice sticks. I use regular cheese also and never had a melting problem.

Yep.
Them there is some good lookin sticks and your little helper looks like hes havin fun.
All my little helpers have growed up and the only part they help me with now is eatin all the goodies.
Thanks guys, since I'm doing the full time dad daycare now its give us something to do. He loves to help me out all the time and I love being at home with him because its a blast. Its going to suck when I go back to work this fall but four its time to have fun. Now that weather is getting better its time to bring him fishing. ;D
Nice sticks. Way cool that you have the time to spend with your son like that. If more parents took that kind of time to spend with their kids we wouldn't have some of the issues we have now.
Way to go.
Great looking sticks!
I like them sticks, Hows that sayin go "Teach a man to fish and he will never have to ask someone for food again" I guess you'd have to show im where the worms hide too ;D Good job teachin the Yard Ape the art of Snausagin ;)
First..I have a stuffer just like the one in the picture, that has been in my family longer then I can remember and we still use it often...really like the looks of them sticks and I hope your little helper remembers what his Dad is teachin...
