SUMMER SAUSAGE CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients with your hands like making meatloaf. Cover and Refrigerate 24 hours. Take out and knead one more time then make 4 14x2 inch logs. Put them on a cookie sheet with 1-2 inch sides. Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours. Take out and wrap in wax paper with aluminum foil around that. Refrigerate until well chilled. Serve by slicing and eating alone or with crackers and cheese.
• NOTE: When rolling logs into shape, make sure you knead the meat and form a tight log so there's no cracks forming while baking.
• IF USING VENISON: Venison is very lean. This recipe needs some fat in it so use 3 lbs venison and 2 lbs hamburger.

Steps:

• Place oil and potatoes in a large, deep non-stick skillet with a tight fitting lid on high heat; season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• When the skillet gets hot and starts to sizzle, reduce heat to low and cook with a tight lid on for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent the potatoes from burning.
• Remove from heat and let them sit 5 minutes without removing the lid, then set the potatoes aside on a dish.
• Add the sausage to the skillet and saute on medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until browned but not quite cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Season chopped vegetables with salt and pepper. Add onions, peppers, garlic and rosemary to the skillet and mix.
• Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers become slightly browned.
• Add zucchini and cook an additional 5 minutes, mixing as it cooks until cooked through.
• Return the potatoes back to the skillet and mix well. Adjust salt and pepper as needed; cover and cook 5 more minutes.
