Made a 3 lb batch of Chroizo sausage from scratch this afternoon. Stuffed 6 Avocado halves and topped with Monterrey Jack cheese. The baking pan just fits in my mini. They are zero carbs and taste great.

    Thanks, forgot the stickers. I took them off a few secs ago. They are really good, I suspect I will cook them in Athens. The scratch made Chroizo takes nothing like what you buy in the store. I use a 50/50 beef pork blend and some apple cider vinegar in the sausage.

    Are you talking about the stickers I saw on some avocados at the grocery store today that said "Ripe".  I mean,.... uh....do  you really have to sticker that?  I would think most people can tell which avocados are 1)ripe within one or two days, 2) Ripe.  Ready for guacamole, or 3) past prime.

    Sure for last 3 years. Made the Canadian Bacon this year and cooked the steaks with the new BGE owner from Waco

    That looks awesome. Don't know if I'd call it stuffed vs piled on top. Looks great!

    Agreed, I fill/stuff/pile the Chorizo the cavity where the pit used to be. I have seen some recipes where the avocado meat is cooked, removed and blended with the other stuffing. I tried this and decided it's not worth the effort IMHO.

    You were very busy that at the Eggfest. I had to change my handle because of an issue with the old forum. Are you going to Athens or Austin?

    John’s Chorizo Sausage makes about 2-1/2 lbs

    Ingredients:

    2 dried Ancho or New Mexico Red Chiles

    1 lb of 75/25 ground beef, extra lean meat doesn’t make good sausage IMHO.

    1 lb of ground pork

    6 oz of Salt Pork

    8-10 cloves of garlic, peeled

    1-1/2 TSP of Salt

    1 TSP of ground black pepper

    ½ TSP of Cumin

    ½ TSP of Oregano, I use fresh but dried will work

    3 TBS of Ancho Chile Powder

    1 cup of water

    2 TBS of Apple Cider Vinegar

    Making the sausage

    Cut the stem off the peppers. In a small sauce pan, boil one cup of water and the peppers for about 5 mins until the peppers are soft. Turn the heat off and let the peppers and water cool for 10 mins.

    Add the garlic cloves, spices, the peppers, salt pork and ¼ cup of water into your food processor. Blend until the ingredients become a paste.

    Place the meat, salt, pepper, vinegar, the remaining water from cooking the chile’s and the paste in a large bowl and blend by hand.  

    Will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days. In the freezer about 10 days.

    We are going to swing by Austin on our way back from Fredericksburg - tasters only.

    I really want to try your beef chorizo.  I really like the pork chorizo I make (Homesick Texan's recipe), but would love to try some beef chorizo.

    @egger why such a short freezer life? I make my own chorizo and have no problem with a longer shelf life in the freezer....just wondering.

    That  was a typo, it will keep longer as you say. Never had it last more than a week or two before it's gone.

    @egger. I understand what you mean by not lasting very long. I had to hide the four pounds that I made for Salado from the other half. When it comes to chorizo the other half lives up to his egging name, Taste Tester.
