Bearded Butcher summer sausage kit

[WildWill]

Bought it at academy the other day thinking it would be perfect for a Xmas gift. I was reading the instructions and they do things a bit different then me. I have a big pile of grind ready to go and am thinking of trying it out. Anyone ever tried this if so what did you think?

I didn’t try that one, but I tried their smoked jalapeño and cheddar sausage kit. It was really good.

Ken Jr. produced 25 lbs of elk, cheddar, pepper jack, & jalapeno this weekend. He uses an Excalibur brand from Fischer's in Muenster, TX. Delicious....

Are you guys using high temp cheese? Damn that stuff is pricey

Yes and it's worth it. You could use big chunks of sharp cheddar but you gotta watch temps to keep it from melting into the meat...like watching temp to ensure it's cooked but not melted to the point you may not even know it's in there so I'd rather drop a few extra $ on high temp cheese.

Yes and yes it is. Waiting on a 5lb bag I got for just over $40 currently. I do 1lb per 1lb of meat and would probably do more if it was cheaper.

Made me start the elk math....which made me stop the math

I make them mix the seasoning fresh for me, Hess Meats as well. Both have great summer sausage seasoning.

After reading their directions I would let that stuffed sausage rest in the frig overnight to get better flavor then smoke and finish in the oven.
The mix we use also has everything in it at once, no need to add some then mix and add the rest of the ingredients.
Water goes in with the seasonings.
