My venison project for this week....

[WNYBuckHunter]

Since I missed out on the full weekend sausage making marathon with my friends back in February, I thawed out my venison and started on my snack sticks. Yesterday morning I ground everything up, mixed the spices and cubed up a couple of blocks of sharp cheddar cheese, and put it all in the fridge. Tonight after work, I mixed the cheese into the meat and stuffed it into the casings. Heres the result, batch one of snack sticks, ready for the smoker tomorrow night.

The second batch will get stuffed tomorrow. Not sure If Ill use cheese in those or not yet.

As soon as the thermometer hit 150...

Results....delicious!

Yeah, they have the Penguins number this year.

 

Im not sure how many feet is there. The table is about 22 or 24" wide and theres around 24 lengths across the table, so yeah, 45ish feet. I still have a second equal size batch to stuff and smoke, but I need more casings.

What kind of smoker are you using?

 

It is the Cajun Injector digital electric smoker. Love it.

[Pygmy]

Dang, John..They look GOOD !!!

 

If they are HALF as good as Culver's they'll be great..

 

His are the best snack sticks I have ever eaten..

 

Make you wanna SLAP yo' Momma !...

 

I might be tempted to buy another smoker.....<<grin>>...

[WNYBuckHunter]

Its the same recipe Dan. I added just a little more heat and the cheese to it. That's actually Bob's stuffer in the first pic lol.

[growalot]

makes me hungry....

[virgil]

That's a huge amount.  How do you store them?

 

and, by the way, it's taking all the restraint I can muster not to make a wisecrack about your sausage party.

Vacuum seal and freeze.

For you Sabres fans- Pominville just got traded.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I know. As much as I don't like it, it was a good deal. 1st and 2nd round draft picks and a couple of decent looking prospects. Pomminville only had a year left on his contract as well. Hopefully Vanek stays and gets healthy. Guess my next Jersey will be Ott instead of Pomminville.

WNY any chance you would share that recipe?

WNY any chance you would share that recipe?

I have been meaning to put up a couple recipes and haven't gotten to it.

 

Next week I will put this one up. (WNY can add his spicier version) I will also post the Italian sausage, peperoni and my favorite- summer sausage.

 

Coming into the season I would love to see the recipe section get active again. beats talking about ISIS or baiting...lol 

 

Side note----I want to find a real good venison hot dog recipe and one for polish sausage.

Great idea.

[Fantail]

How did I miss this thread - not so hot on the cheese part but everything else looks great even the table. What are you using for casings if you don't mind saying?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

The ones he has there are collagen.
