Venison Cheddar-jalapeno Smoked Sausage Recipe
by baluke
Good jalapeno flavor but little heat if made as directed.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Cold water or Lager beer
- 2 tablespoons Curing Mixture ; (Morton's Tender Quick)
- 2 teaspoons Mustard seed
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon Course Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Liquid smoke
- 2.5 pounds Lean ground Wild Game meat ; 1/4" plate
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese ; High tempreture shredded
- 2 Jalapeno peppers
- 2.5 pounds Pork Butt, ground ; 3/16" plate
INSTRUCTIONS
Directions
Stir the water, curing mixture, mustard seed, garlic powder, black pepper, and liquid smoke in a large bowl until the curing mixture has dissolved. Mix in the ground venison and pork butt, Cheddar cheese, and jalapeno peppers; mix until evenly blended and somewhat sticky, about 3 minutes and refrigerate for 24 hours.
The next day, stuff into 32 - 35mm natural hog casings, you can link them every 6" or to 18", and allow to air dry for 2 - 4 hours (I use a fan) to make sure they are dry (the casings) enough.
Hot smoke (185* - 225* F.) over oak or hickory until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F (75 degrees C), 2 to 3 hours.
Cool the sausages in an ice bath for about 3 - 5 minutes and place on a rack or hang them for 4 - 6 hours to bloom.
Seal-A-Meal them for freezer storage and grill them when ready to eat.
