I need to state, I like whatever about this time of year. Thanksgiving is such an unique time to invest with family and friends, once the meal is over you get the abrupt desire to break out the tinsel, string up lights, and shriek Christmas music 24/7 up until you can’t take it any longer. Or have you been doing this because Halloween????? My household has some enduring vacation customs, and I have actually got to share among those with you today. Is anybody else thinking summer season sausage? Since I am! Every year my household and I would make certain to purchase a couple of sticks of summer season sausage from Hickory Farms– they have the very best! Oh, and their cheese? Fantastic to consume by itself. Call me unusual, however I had the desire to have some homemade summer season sausage this year. I’ve never ever made it in the past, however from what others were stating, it looked too simple. And it was! Not just is the taste definitely remarkable, however likewise you can conserve cash by making your own. This dish is both tasty and a little sweet with simply a tip of cayenne for flavoring. This sausage makes certain to be a preferred and will vanish rapidly. Believe me, this is some seriously tasty summer season sausage, and it may even be the very best I’ve ever had …

Start with your 2 pounds of hamburger by positioning it into a medium-sized bowl. I would suggest getting ground chuck, no fattier. Mix in the treatment or treating salt of your option. (If you are utilizing a treating salt, you might have the ability to leave out the salt from this dish. Change the flavoring to your taste.)

A lot of the dishes online will inform you to utilize Morton’s Tender Quick. This is completely great … if you can handle to discover it. It will not be offered in the bulk of supermarket, Walmarts, and so on. I had the ability to discover another brand name of meat treatment at Gander Mountain. Attempt taking a look at sporting excellent or camping shops in their meat processing area, generally surrounded by the cast iron frying pans and other cooking utensils. Likewise, please note that if you are aiming to make your own sausage constantly, and I suggest constantly, follow the instructions on the remedy product packaging instead of the dish. I saw one dish requiring 1/8 c. of Morton Tender Quick while I just required to utilize 1/2 tsp for 2 pounds of meat. Okay, after stating all that … Now that you have actually blended the treatment into the meat, cool the meat over night. You will see that the treatment will turn the meat a brownish color which is totally great.

In a little bowl blend together the liquid smoke, onion powder, granulated garlic, paprika, cayenne, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Put over the hamburger and blend together.

Divide the meat into 2 equally divided parts. To form the meat, location among the halves onto a piece of foil and bring 2 sides of the foil together, surrounding the meat. Start rolling it backward and forward on the counter and assistance form it into a log/stick/roll up until it is the shapes and size that you desire it, making certain that it is well held together. I discover the foil to assist bring it together perfectly. Repeat this action with the other half of the meat.

Get rid of the meat from the foil and location it on a broiler pan. Or, if you resemble me and you do not have a broiler pan, voila! Makeshift broiler pan!

I took a 12 ″ pizza pan and set it on top of my cast iron frying pan. And let me inform you, it works wonderfully. You will require something to capture all the fat and grease that will be coming out of the hamburger (and my cast iron does not mind getting a little spices at the same time).

All that’s left is to bake it at 225 degrees for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. (Note: I prepared mine for about 3 1/2 hours and left it in the oven for the staying 1/2 hour.) Permit it to cool (if you can wait that long) and cool (whatever’s left after you have let it “cool”). Serve with cheese, crackers, and any other tasty garnishes like hot brown mustard. Delight in!
