    Sausage party!

    Not that kind of sausage party Thumper... settle down

    I hosted an end of season grind sesh yesterday with 3 of the guys I hunt with. We put all the scrap meat aside throughout the season and just did it all at once.
    300 pounds (actually 290)...

    4 men, 7 hours, non stop... an output of 10 pounds per hour per man ain’t bad... when I say non stop I’m not including walleye whistle breaks and the occasional beer.

    That's really cool.

    Ummm, since I'm such a nice guy and all, why don't you send me about 10-lbs. of that Chorizo?

    First time making chorizo... it is insanely good!
    Made a version of Huevos Rancheros with it for a game day snack!
    Fried up taters and onions and garlic and chorizo.
    Cracked 8 eggs on top, topped with cheese and broiled for 5 minutes until the cheese was crusty and the yolks were still runny.
    It was larrupin’!

    I've never had it like that, but dang that sounds good. I loves me some good chorizo and eggs! I think I might have a cast iron skillet that you need for the next batch.

    Did you really just say you had a seven hour “grind session” with three other dudes? What kind of hunt club are you hooked up with?

    It looks like you bag all of it, do you ever put any into casings?

    Mexican hash! Man that looks tasty.

    I image you worked up an appetite with all that grinding and scissoring you guys were doing.

    And not one, single, tiny, little, tip of the hat to me. This is very hurtful.

    Haha long story there... short answer is yes
    My stuffer is a small 10 pound stuffer and I had natural casings for the Italian sausage...
    get the dang thing set up, stuff half of one intestine, and and dang handle snapped right off at the base. I dunno if I dropped it or it got bumped or what... either way. We bagged it. I coulda used the grinder to stuff but that always turns out to be a lot more work than the stuffer, so we bagged it.
