Last week....

• Our taco night was a success.  Woo hoo!  (It only took a month...)
• I burned our spaghetti crockpot dinner.  It was sad.  And gross.                                
• So we went out to eat.

I also finished handling the last of 40 pounds of ground beef.
Have I mentioned just how much meat that is????

• I made hamburger patties & froze them
• I made sliders for Super Bowl Sunday
• I also tried making homemade beef sausage, and hubs (the sausage connoisseur) actually liked it!!!

Here's the recipe I used:
Approx. 2 lbs ground beef
1 tsp diced onion
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground sage
2 tsp salt

Mix together, and let sit in refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight.
Shape into links or patties.  Fry in pan or cook in oven at 325.
Can also be used as crumbles in homemade "skillets".
