Great Dish for your Wild Hog Sausage

Hi All,

We got a BUNCH of sausage (somewhere between 30 and 40 pounds) from my recent 394 pound hog.  I decided to try it out in a recipe we've been enjoying for a while, but up 'til now, just using ground beef.  The wild hog sausage adds a lot to it -  It's simple, fast, easy, and really good!  Good for you, too!  Here's all you do:

In the bottom of a big pot, brown about a pound of your hog sausage.  If it gets too dry before it's completely browned, add a little water or even some fruit juice.

Once the sausage is well browned, add a pint of your favorite salsa.  Wal-mart usually has some real good fresh salsa in the produce section, but you can use name-brand out of a jar, or homemade if it suits you.  Stir it up well with the sausage, and let it simmer until it's good and hot.

Chop up a head of fresh cabbage, and dump it in on top of the sausage/salsa mix.  Cover it, let it come back up to simmering, then stir it around a bit.  Cook until the cabbage starts to get tender (more or less, to your taste), stirring occasionally.

Then go for it!  My wife didn't even like cooked cabbage until she tried this recipe, but now she's sold on it!  If you don't have any wild hog sausage, you can make this with ground beef, ground turkey, store-bought sausage, or just about any meat you prefer (but that defeats the purpose of posting it here on a wild game recipe forum ;) ).  It's been great every time I've made it.  This stuff has become a staple food for me ever since I got the big hog!  When I run out of sausage, I'm gonna have to go kill me another hog! :D

Try it!

Regards,

Jim

Jason,

Thanks for the post!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the dish.  I'm whipping up a big batch of it this very moment - I think that typing my post about it last night threw a craving on me!  I'm getting hungrier by the minute, smelling it cooking!

Regards,

Jim

Jim,

    I fixed this dish tonight and it was great!! The smell just about killed my wife and I while it was cooking!! MMmmmm MMMmmmm GOOD!! I am blessed enough to be able to kill 3 or 4 deer ever year and trap and kill wild pigs year around, so I don' buy meat from the store. I am always looking for new ways to prepare and cook wild game. One of my favorite ways to do wild pig is to make bratwurst sausages. They are yummy!!

Keep the recipes coming...... this one will be a hit at my house from now on!!

Happy Eating!!

Hello Jason!

Glad you're enjoying the recipe!  There are lots of variations you can try.  I've found that I like the stuff a little 'meatier', so I sometimes use 2 pounds of sausage, or a mix of the hog sausage and some ground beef or ground turkey, depending on the size of my head of cabbage <G>.

Wonder what kind of salsa you're using?

I'm not much of a cook, myself, but I find myself cooking up a lot of this stuff.  Lemme know what you find to be your favorite combination!

Regards,

Jim

Here's an Update!  (Thank my wife for this!)

My wife recently fixed the sausage & cabbage dish from the original post.  After cooking, she diced up a fresh tomato and a little raw onion and spread it across the top.  Wow!  And I thought it couldn't get any better...

Regards,

Jim

Thanks Jim found this thread and on google search and was needing a recipe. I've just never tried it with cabbage before! Going to give it a go and thanks again.

Hi Bob!

Check it out, and let me know what you think.  I'm not much of a cook myself, but this stuff is so easy to fix (and good), that I've been doing a lot of cooking lately!

Enjoy!

Regards,

Jim
