Hatch and Hatch

[tarp]

Now that the temperatures have cooled here in SE TX. I decided to make some hatch brats. I had bought some Boston butts while they were on sale for 99cts a lb. Impossible to find that price today. Mixed my pork and 3 #s pork fat with some late last Decembers deer back strap 4 lbs.
Got my wife to peel and blend about 15 large fresh frozen hatch chilies to add, along with about 3 # high temp cheddar cheese. I mixed the 25 #s by hand. Stuffed in pig intestines mostly and a few lbs. bulk. They came out with a good kick but not overpowering. Fantastic on the grill.!!!

Man, that looks delicious and I can feel the sweet low heat of those hatch peppers. Warms the soul on a cold day

Seriously though “mixed by hand” with with a mixer that is hand cranked right? because if that is truly by hand I am having hand/brain freeze just thinking about it.

Looks great. Think I’d tear up though watching a backstrap go through a grinder.

PapaSop Yeah it’s a tough one to see happen for sure.

tarp About how much did the chiles equate to after being chopped, (cup, pint…)? I have chiles already chopped, bagged and frozen.

Thanks ,It was about a cup and half ground up . Oh yes back strap in the chopper, Had to grit my teeth, but new season only days away for bow hunting. Hand mixing wasn’t that hard but next time I think Ill use the mixer. It does have a good kick in all bites but just has the heat leave’s its time for another bite.lol
