Title: Cabelas black bag sausage kits
Post by: DoubleJ on September 20, 2012, 09:35:20 PM: Are they any good? For $20-$25 the look to do 25lbs of meat into pep sticks, snack sticks, summer sausage, etc. I grabbed 1 each of the pep sticks, summer sausage, and snack stick mixes with the gift card I got for returning my loud parka. What are your thoughts?

I use hi country for my sausage and absolutely love it. Best breakfast sausage I have ever eaten.

I use their country blend.

The Cabelas pepperoni kit is ho hum.

Was the pepperoni stick flavor ho hum or would a few less lbs of meat help concentrate the flavor? Might that be the case with the 3 flavors I got as well?

Don't get me wrong, it is edible, just not fantastic.

They're out of PA and are a small company. I made Spicy Italian, Sweet Italian, Chorizo and Southern Bella Breakfast out of this years Bear. All of it is WONDERFULL! :drool: Last year I used their basic Breakfast Sausage mix and added one pint of real Maple Syrup :tup:It was the best breakfast sausage ever. The Chorizo is by far the best of any mix I've used, including Cabelas and multiple online recipes.

They also have High temperature cheese for making Summer Sausage and my favorite; Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapano Bear Burgers
