    Chicken, bacon, ranch sausage — question

    I’m planning on making a chicken bacon ranch sausage. I have some ranch seasoning from Walton’s, and I figured I might as well make some chicken bacon ranch sausage. I have homemade bacon slabs in my freezer. Sounds good, eh?

    Question: should I dice the (homemade) bacon? Or should I put it through the grinder with all the other ingredients?

    That’s my dilemma. What do you think?

    The only way to know is... DO BOTH! And report back, of course.

      Actually ALL THREE! Obviously you need to do a batch with 50% of the bacon ground and 50% diced. FOR SCIENCE!

    I would grind the bacon. Just my opinion.

      Depends on how much bacon flavor you want. If you want as much bacon forward as possible then do both as said above.

      least flavor would be a small dice.

      ground up will permiate throughout more than diced.

      also the flavor will transfer through fat.

      im in favor of doing both with a lesser amount of bacon. Cook off a piece of that first and adjust.

      you can make small patties of each to hone in on the season and flavor before doing batches.

          Also realize that the bacon, especially if you go ground, will affect the salt content of your farce. That'll affect the texture and taste of the finished sausage.
