Small batch summer sausage

You should remind your wife every time she rags about it that she SHOULD have bought you a grinder for Christmas.

That's funny! The issue was resolved years ago with a good grinder and stuff. For whatever reason it still comes up??

You can make do without a meat mixer.  Cut the meat into 1" cubes.  Add spices & let it soak in for a few days.  Stir the meat cubes ever day.  Grind up a test batch and fry a sample.  You can add spice if you want.  The grinder finishes the mixing for you.

Just finished up 15 or so lbs of Hi Mountain jalapeno summer sausage. Pretty good I was expecting more jalapeno flavor. I see  a meat mixer in my near future or frost bite. I'd rather have the meat mixer  .

i run 10 to 12   fresh jalapeno peppers through the grinder per 15 lbs of meat and mix in with my jalapeno cheese sausage

adds nice spicy fresh flavor

I'll try that ribka

Some pepper jack high temp cheese is also good, and I agree with the jalapeños, I have put them in bratwurst, and they kick it up a notch in the flavor department!
