I’m not much of a woodworker, but the wife loves Bigfoot, so decided to make her one and surprise her with it. Set it up right inside garage door-first thing she saw late last night when door went up-was a hit!

So I have trouble when using cellulose hot dog casing keeping the hot dog twisted when going in smoker. Came up with an easy solution-little more time, but comes out with the traditional hot dog look. Just a quick wrap with bread twist ties

I’ve been making these for a few weeks now, and if not number 1 seller, a close 2nd.

28 lbs ground pork
1 package Holly pork sausage seasoning
2.5 lbs hi temp cheddar
2 lbs cooked bacon chopped fine
2 bags of frozen potatoes O’Brien-you’ll have to cook these before mixing.

Add cheese and potatoes at the end of mixing-potatoes tend to break up if added too early.

Stuff, cool, enjoy! Goes well on a bun with some country gravy

Prob already been done, but I’ve been adding 505 roasted green chili in addition to the seasoning and it’s a big hit! I do only 1 cup per 10lbs, but really kicks it up! Also been adding it to breakfast links using the extra sage seasoning. Give it a shot!

Not scrambled eggs, 1 dozen raw eggs. I add them to the seasoning before mixing instead of using water

Thank you all for the replies! I’ll let you know how they turn out!

Thanks! I did a coarse grind, then ran it through 3 additional times on a 3mm plate

Not at all! I actually added 3 lbs so that the sausage flavor didn’t overwhelm the brat

Well shoot! I forgot to put eggs in the recipe! Seriously, I put in a dozen eggs as well.

And yes, I do cook and chill the O’Brien mix before adding

There was no problem w them holding up-worked perfectly!

She did startle a little, but then was super excited. Fun stuff!

My nickname in Marine Corps was BoHeathus. Ha. I’ll be down in NM in a few weeks hunting the Gila-pretty excited!

Seems to be pretty close to emulsified as you can get! Sticky stuff!
