Deer sausage recipe

Rebels Butcher Supply out of Jackson has some good sausage seasonings. You can order it on their website. I like to kick the "Cajun" seasoning up with a little cayenne and/or black pepper. But it's good on its own.

That’s a huge rabbit hole indeed great info on those forums

I use both Leggs and Rebel packaged mixes and both are good. I use the Leggs pork sausage seasoning and add bacon ends and green onions also have done maple bacon and jalapeño cheddar with the Leggs brand.

Have to make my own here in Ky.
to mimic the taste of sausage from back home in Evangeline Parish.
I use per 1 lb of meat:
.25 tbs of cayenne pepper
.125 tbs of garlic powder
.20 tbs of salt
I prefer to make it 50/50. ( I love the deer taste)
Add some extra water before stuffing to help it moist( have also added a little powdered milk)
Smoke over pecan when I can get it up here, have used shagbark hickory, even cherry in a pinch.
Usually can go to the local IGA up here and buy a hank(roughly 100lbs worth of sausage)of casing. Store what casing you don’t use in strong salt water in freezer and it will last a good long while.

That’s all I got .

Noted! Thanks

Your answers will be all over the place, everyone has a different pallet. Two things I’ll tell you is one, don’t get a mix with sage in it unless you want it to taste like breakfast sausage. Two, before stuffing the casing make a small patty and test fry it. Simple to do and you’ll know what you have from there. Good luck.

Excellent point about the taste test . Also write down what you do, in case it’s a while before you do it again. I even record the weather conditions to know how to predict how the smoking will go. Once you get your recipe down the way you like it, you can just roll with it.

Mine has zero game taste and I use 50%pork. Boneless country style ribs is what I use with the deer meat. It fits my grinder perfectly. I put cheese in my last batch. The trick is to get the salt right and keep everything super cold.

Guillory's in Pine Prairie? They make some fine sausage!

Sounds like you ain’t about to move up to first tier sausage or wives anytime soon. Anyone can eat liver. My pop didn’t serve anyone gamey sausage. Old school rules.

There you go. How does she know if she only had one choice? SMH. Give her some choices and she might move away and also educate you.
