Easy Summer Sausage ( no casing )

[Goldeneagle]

Here is a basic recipe for summer sausage. There is no casing involved so there is no need for any special equipment.

Goldeneagle’s Whack ‘Em and Stack ‘Em Summer Sausage


2 pounds ground venison ( or any other ground meat )
1 cup of water
2 teaspoons of liquid smoke
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of whole mustard seed
2-3 tablespoons of Morton’s Tender Quick ( salt cure )


Mix all ingredients together, add ground meat and mix well.
Divide in half and form each half into rolls about 1-2” in diameter.
Wrap in aluminum foil with the shiny side out.
Place on a small rack.
Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Punch holes in foil with a fork.
Place rack on baking sheet ( make sure holes are down)to catch any drippings.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 ¼ hours.
Meat will look raw when sliced, but it is done. ( due to curing )
Keep refrigerated.

Note: This is just a basic recipe. You can add things like Jalepenos, cheese or what ever else tickles your fancy.

Can you put this on the smoker and cook it or will the liquid smoke give it enough flavor in the oven? Thanks

Chad, I'm pretty sure the oven is this best way for this.
