Thanks bayoudude for the recipe.




I have a meat grinder you hand crank. Talk about a workout grinding up 25 pounds. It came out good!

Looks good but damn.... I sure don't miss my hand crank grinder when I flip the switch on my 1 HP grinder!

Sausage making is a kick, the beer required to make it is even better!

Yep I'm getting one for next season. Hammer, you ever make any sausage with duckmeat? Buddy wants to make some boudin and I'm thinking of adding some duck to it.

Nice job!

What kind of casings did you use?

It's regular. I went to rouses and got the guy in the meat department to get me some legg green onion seasoning. It's for 25 lbs. I also added a half cup of cayenne pepper to it as well. I took some tonight and slow cooked it in red wine and tomato sauce and served it over pasta. Talk about good!!!

Yup, made some peperoni sticks out of some honkers last week still eating on them. Duck sausage it pretty good no different to make than deer just a bit of a different recipe. If you want we can make some in the coming months I have everything needed at the house.

Never used that before. How does that compare to real hog casings? Could you grill it or cook on stove top? After cooking, are the casings soft and edible?

They don't need to be wet before using them. You can cook them just like your other casings. When grilled they are very thin so easy to cut and chew. I think it's the same casings they do andouille with.

I make about 100# every couple of months of pork sausage to sell for extra money and no way i would do that with a hand crank grinder. I enjoy making sausage tho. Made 80lbs deer sausage last week.

ETA: Is there any huge diff between the collagen casings you used and the actual real pork casings? Always used real casing just curious

Glad it came out well for you. I know we haven't had any complaints with that recipe. I have also added minced garlic and used their cajun seasoning for something different. Hard to beat the green onion though.

ETA: and that was a shite ton of work with a hand grinder

Don't think there's a huge difference between the pork and collagen casings. The moisture in the filling is just enough to stretch the collagen. Try it out
And yeah it was a shite ton of work.
