Ribs, Pork Butt. But tried something new, or at least a new recipe (to me).
Jalapeno Cheese smoked Sausage. I think the taste is really good. I made some patties and some links. Just used one 6 pound Pork Butt. If I had a clue that it would be this good I might of made more. Needless to say it hasn't lasted very long.
I started by boning the Pork butt, cutting it up for the grinder. Using a 1/4" plate into the grinder it went. The fat to lean ratio looked good to me. I ground everything but the bone. After boning there was 5.5 pounds of meat. I also ran the Jalapeno Chiles through the grinder. Mixed all the spices and jalapenos with the water.
Added the mixture to the ground meat, along with the cheese. Mixed all ingredients well. Made a test patty. yep good sausage. I was thinking I would chill over night to let the spice and meat get to know each other better. Covered and into the refrigerator. Next morning stuffing time, I really needed to add more liquid at this time but didn't (wrong move) The sausage was really hard to pass through the stuffer. I also didn't have green Jalapenos but had some red ripe ones, these worked out really well.
Here is the photo of whats left. Make some they are Good Food !! Bill
