Anyone have a recipe for Summer Sausage?

[PRDATR]

I have some elk I'd like to make into summer sausage and have never done it before. My son bought me a grinder a few years ago and I'm just getting around to using it. I ground up two pounds last week using beef fat at about a 25% mix and made chilli out of it, not too shabby. Gringo style and used peruano beans, jalapeno and the usual spices.

I get tired of regular summer sausage pretty quick.  I highly recommend you try Cabela's ring Bologna.  It's a back east favorite where I am from in PA dutch country.  We're gonna be making some real soon. All the kids love it.

Going out of state  for thanksgiving and will take it with me and probably take some to Louisiana in February. I don't buy it or usually ever eat processed foods.

Yeah it's a need to stay cold meat.  But so much better then summer sausage imo.

When I was in HS we would walk to Zorn's for lunch and for about a dollar would buy a loaf of fresh italian bread and a pound on bologna. Enough to make a hero for two people. Once in a while we would get a bucket of fried chicken for a little more. 

Back when there were still corn and potato fields and turkeys wandering around.
