Deer Summer Sausage
 
Hey all I just got done stuffing my sausage :wink: Its on the smoker as I type this. I didn't get any pictures of the grinding and mixing up of the spices its kind of a messy job but here is the recipe I have been using for a few years now.
Spicy Deer Summer Sausage Recipe
This recipe for summer sausage can be baked in the trusty oven or cooked in the meat smoker. Either way, the temperature is kept low, which gives the sausage a superior texture. Here's the ingredient list and recipe...
• 3 pounds ground venison
• 2 pounds ground pork
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tablespoons Morton Tender Quick
• 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons mustard seed
• 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
Mix all ingredients together well, cover and refrigerate for three days. Re-mix twice daily. Stuff into fibrous sausage casings, or hand form into rolls.
If cooking in the smoker, maintain a temperature of 170F for six hours, or until the sausage reaches 155F internal temperature.
In the oven, set the temperature at 170F (or as close as you can get it), and bake until done. Cook the summer sausage on a broiler pan so it can drain as it cooks.

here is a few pics of the work area im using

nice job and good looking sausage as the final product.

I have seen the dakota stuffer on websites, but wasn't sure how it well worked.

CC out of woodpile AND posting recipes? :shocked:

Are you really CC? :noidea:

Seriously though - those look great - I haven't done summer sausage yet, so I'm gonna bookmark this - thanks for putting it up. Looks like you have a great setup! :thumb:

How coarse do you grind?

I love the dakota stuffer, no cranking it holds 9 lbs per load, and when your ready to stop just crack the outlet and close the inlet, when you hit the end close the inlet open the outlet and take the front off tilt it up and the piston will pull itself back to the other end.

If you need my address to send the sausage to just let me know!

Fine looking sausages.

Will you freeze most of them and thaw when needed?

ya I get out of the wood pile ever now and then, and no I dont normally share my recipes but I havent really tweeked this one much other than adding a lb of pepperjack high temp cheese per 10 lbs of meet. The grind plate I use is a course #9 I chunk up all my meet prior to grind in about 1 inch cubes and I have a old hobart grinder that weights about 60 lbs

It weighed in at 19.5 lbs before I added the cheese I added in 2 lbs of cheese, It was a quad batch of the recipe
