Baymule's 500 Pound Boar!

And when you get as sick of sausage as you did roasts, you can send me a few

It took a rainy day for me to get the frozen breakfast sausage out to package up. I vacuum sealed 20 packages of 10 each. Already took 4 packages to son in law and cooking 6 sausages now.

Do you guys smoke it to freeze or how do you store it?

The breakfast sausage I made with no casing. I layered it with wax paper to freeze it, so it wouldn’t smush flat when I vacuum sealed it. This morning I broke it apart, peeled the wax paper off, bagged and vacuum sealed it. It is not smoked, it is fresh sausage. We smoked the stuffed sausage.

I bought a meat grinder today - Yay! I'm going to try my hand at some sausage. Might start with goat/pork mixture.

Did you get the sausage stuffing tubes? Making your own sausage is easy and so good, stuffed or pan patties. We really like the skinless breakfast sausage.

I did! I didn't get a fancy dancy one - but it has all the basic equipment. Hope I can find time to try it out this weekend, but we're considering heading to one of the grandkiddos football game. He doesn't play - well he does play - but in the band!

My grinder is 35ish years old, I still have the original box, it is price tagged $64.95 And it was MADE IN AMERICA. It is not a big one and I sometimes dream of a bigger one that would accept chunks of meat instead of little cubes, but it works for me.

I specifically bought this one at Wal-Mart because of their ease of return policy. It didn't get top review points, but I'm going to give it a chance. If it doesn't do what I need it to do it'll be returned and I'll shell out the extra dollars to get a unit better suited to what I need.

Ours is a Kitchener brand and far from top of the line. I just looked at the current price and they have gotten silly as we have only had ours for around 8 years and only paid $119 at Northern Tool. They are closer to $200 now.
