    They are cooked and I tried both .



    The Hot Italian sausage was fine ..tasted good , I might use a little more seasoning next time but was very satisfied with it .
    The onion and jalapeno was even better (in my opinion) , new flavor for me , I think the added onion and jalapeno worked out nice . Lot more 'flavor' . Was no hotter than the regular but you could taste the jalapeno and onion ...stepped it up a lot .



    Will defiantly do both again , might add a tiny bit of ground red pepper to the jalapeno sausage to step it up a bit more .
    You might make a couple of pounds of it next time you make Italian to try it .

    Thank you for looking !

    Derek I'll vouch for the Legg's...good seasoning . Would have been even better with a bit more seasoning . I just eyeballed amount by recommendation on the package . I like a lot of flavor . The jalapeno/onion was even better . I thought it might be a dud but did well , of course you may think different but worth a try .

    I took the recommended amount and divided it out then I weighed enough for 1 pound and poured it into measuring spoons until I found one that was close. I do have an advantage in a small scale I use to weigh hops and beer water minerals with in the kitchen.

    Looks like 1 pack makes 25lbs of sausage? I'm usually a fan of more heavily seasoned items so I'll probably split it in half and make 2 10lb batches. I dig adding the jalapeno and onion, my favorite fresh sausage from the store is pork with cheddar and jalapeno added. Yall make me hungry everytime I visit this side of the forum. Will have to watch the ads and catch some pork butt on sale to give this a try. Still got my pickled eggs ageing waiting for me.

    This is a good source for AC Legg products http://www.sausagemakersupplies.com/
    I have found that if you are going to make a smaller than twenty five pound batch, you will want to carefully weight the seasoning after you remix the spice packet ( the spices will separate from the salt/sugar carrier). The spices are formulated for a specific weight of product and if you can find some friends to split a 25 pound batch you will get your best results.

    Hmm thats a good point about the distrubition of seasonings inside the packet. I think I'll just go whole hog and make 25lbs properly rather than try to separate it. Looks like my cabelas points will be going towards a proper grinder for my meat instead of more primers .


    Boaz, that's how my kitchen looks every time I'm in there too . 2 little floor cleaners that keep the meat from hitting the ground. I call it recycling and better than it just going in the trash.

    All this talk of sausage making got me off my duff, I've been putting this off for about a month.Attachment 202266. New recipe, in between Sweet Italian and Hot Italian. Very good in my opinion, the 25 pounds won't last long.

    Charlie, I have heard you say: "I would eat a piece of chocolate cake with a jalapeno pepper!" Where is the chocolate cake?
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
