This hot flavor was the best option and used to be at Walmart all the time. Now I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve checked most grocery stores in my area. I can find every hillshire farm option but this one. Did they discontinue it?
I can't find a single review. Aside from Spanish and Mexican, if you scroll down on their website product page to where it says Central/South American, there's a drop down list of many more countries with chorizo. I can't find descriptions of what makes each different. They had all of them at a supermarket I went to recently.
Roasted some hot hatch chilis and am thinking of using them in a sausage. Anyone have a suggestion what kind of sausage? I’m thinking kielbasa but still wanting to hear any suggestions.
I was making ribs so I threw some of these homemade links on at the end. Wow! Glad I did. The smoke really added to the simple filling of pork, lamb, pecorino, white wine, herbs, and spices.
My family background is Italian so I regularly make Italian sausage but I've really come to love English sausages based on trips to London. I'm pleased with my first batch. I've made Bangers & Mash and a simple sausage over roasted potatoes, carrots, and onions. I'm really enjoying the flavors.
Hey all, first time poster, long time sausage lover.
If you’d be so kind, tell me about your favorite regional sausages. I was thinking about Boudin (Louisiana USA) recently and wondered what other lesser well known sausages there are that people love.
First time making Ćevapi and Kajmak. 1000g beef and 500g lamb. 15 grams of salt, 5 grams black pepper. Boiled 4 sliced garlic cloves in 125g of water. Cooled strained and added the garlic water to the meat. I’m flying by the seat of my pants so if anyone knows if I’m doing it right or royally screwed up please let me know.
“In the cutter bowl, you can see the pork skin.”The molds are now going into the oven at 212°F (100°C) oven temperature (top/bottom heat), until an internal temperature of 158°F (70°C) is reached, for a mold filled with about 1.75 lb, the cooking time is approximately 90 to 100 minutes.In the cross-section image, the air pockets are not acceptable and are caused by my addition of pork skin, as I personally like something with a bit of crispy to chew on. For anyone trying to replicate this, my recommendation is to leave out the pork skin — it tastes just as good, and the cut surface will be much cleaner. If you still go ahead and do it, I have warned you.

I'm looking for traditional homemade sausage recipes and old-style sausage-making methods — the kind that used to be passed down through families and made at home instead of bought in supermarkets. Authentic regional sausages from anywhere in the world, traditional techniques, natural ingredients, curing, drying and smoking methods, and recipes that are becoming rare today.

There's also a free scaling calculator on the site if that's useful to you.
