Made from scratch. Couldn't take more pictures of grinding and stuffing, because it's a process that needs four hands with a Kitchen-Aid. I managed to do it myself.

Nice! I have the same setup, (Well, I have a red KA) I have not had time to DIY yet. Bratwurst, hot Italian and Chorizo sausage are on my list this year. How long and what temp did you use in the Sous Vide?

How was the texture of cooking the sausage sous vide first? What temp and for how long did you cook it?

Looks killer Brian. Love to try to make my own links sometime.

56MPG, I don't remember the temp setting on the immersion cooker. It was probably something like 175. I took it out when the sausage had an internal temp of 152. It did not take long -- maybe 20 minutes.

FYI, I'm not happy with my KitchenAid grinder and stuffer attachments. The main housing on the attachment has cracked, and KitchenAid has refused to replace it. I've ordered a stainless steel model made by Chef's Choice. Sucks, because I had always been happy with KitchenAid products, but they apparently don't stand behind their products.

bigssa, the texture is fine. After grinding, I also put the meat through a food processor. The purpose of cooking them in water was to bring them to an internal temp of 152. At that point, it's just like hot dogs -- they can be eaten, but they really need some Weber love!

This is pretty much the recipe I used:

3 1/2 lbs boneless beef

1 1/ lbs 70-75% lean pork shoulder or pork trimmings

1 cup non-fat milk powder (as a binder)

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon paprika

3 tablespoons fine ground black or white pepper

1/2 teaspoon coriander

2 teaspoons mace

1/2 teaspoon allspice

6 large cloves fresh garlic, finely pressed

1 teaspoon Instacure or Prague powder #1

Beautiful. Massive respect on doing the sausage from scratch. Good luck. It looks delicious.

Each purchase of a weber grill is a very special and rare occasion for me as they are rare to come by around here.
