 Directions



Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Chorizo
Categories: Meats, Mexican
Yield: 1 Servings

2 lb Ground beef
2 lb Ground pork
3 tb Salt
2 tb Oregano
2 ts Pepper
3 ts Garlic
1 3/4 c Vinegar
2 c Chile Powder; Gebhardt's
2 ts Cumin seed

A very greasy Mexican sausage. This is a leaner version that is good with
scrambled eggs, tortilla and salsa to create Huevos Rancheros.

Pour some water in chile powder and mix to make a paste; add garlic.

Crush oregano and cumin seed together. Combine meats in a large bowl and
add the oregano-cumin seed mixture, salt and pepper mixing well.

Add the vinegar and mix. Add chili-garlic mixture and mix well. I have not
made this but my husband has and it is very good. I doubt that the method
of putting it together is very critical as long as you get it mixed well.
When you have it mixed well fry a small patty of it too see if it is what
you want and then you can correct the seasonings to your own taste so far
as garlic, chile and such. This is what they did when we went to a sausage
making party several years back. A fun type party!
