Mike's Jalapeño Smoked Cheddar Moose Sausage Recipe

Batch Size: 20lbs Meat	60:40 Ratio Moose to Pork

Ingredients:
425 gram OP Wild Game Sausage Binder Mix
400 gram block old cheddar cheese cubed 3/16" x 3/16"
6 Average size fresh jalapeno peppers chopped.
3 Cups cold water

The Outdoor Pros Wild Game sausage kits have a fantastic flavour and pair very well with the Jalapeño Peppers and Cheese.

My first batch of these sausages were done with standard Old Cheddar cheese. In 2022 I experimented by cold smoking the cheese for two hours, then vacuum sealed and refrigerated for one week. The added flavour was outstanding!

To get started, prep your ingredients by cutting the cheese into cubes then dice up the Jalapeño peppers.

Now add the spice mixture and water to the ground meat and thoroughly combine by hand in a large meat tote.

Before adding the peppers & cheese test-fry a sample. At this point you can add more meat or more seasoning to make sure they taste the way you want them.

Now add the peppers and cheese and continue to mix until evenly integrated.

This 5lb stainless steel sausage stuffer works great and is easily operated by one person.

These sausages are my favourite to date, full of flavour and like nothing I can buy. This makes them quite unique and a real treat!
