    Smoked Sausage Patties

    I love fixing myself a simulated egg McMuffin for breakfast. For sausage, I have been using the frozen pre-cooked sausage patties from the grocery store. Recently decided to try to make my own pre-cooked patties. Cubed about 4 pounds pork (72% loin, 18% back fat, and 10% picnic) and mixed in 1.5% salt and 0.25% Cure#1. Refrigerated 2 days. Then ground partially frozen loin/fat through 1/4" plate and the picnic twice through a 1/8" plate:

    Mixed together the two grinds than divided in two batches of a bit under 2 pounds. Mixed spices for fennel Italian sausage into one batch and for andouille (without most of the cayenne) into the other batch. Then with apologies to ChefSteps Chicken Roulade recipe, rolled mince very tightly into logs with plastic wrap:

    Then proceeded to vacuum bag and sous vide at 145º for 3.5 hours. Ice water bath for an hour, unwrapped and smoked at 160º for 3 hours (apple pellets in a-maz-n tube):

    Chilled overnight and sliced:

    Picked a handful of blueberries, sliced a banana, toasted an English muffin, microwaved egg, sausage and cheese, and had breakfast in about 5 minutes. Sausage (especially Italian) much better than the store bought cardboard patties.

    Will slice up the rest and flash freeze for future use!

                  Ever since I got my meat grinder last year I've been wanting to make my own sausage but I've been procrastinating. This thread may prove to be the catalyst that prods me to take action. Thank you for the write-up and the pics. It looks fantastic.

                    ClayJones it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. And the answer to when needs to be - very soon.

                    ClayJones I got the meat grinder and vac sealer for my birthday last year. A couple of weeks ago we acquired for free a small chest freezer. It has made SUCH a nice difference in our household.
