It worked! They look like summer sausage! I'm so thrilled because I had to bake mine at 170 degrees since that is as low as my oven will go. I also ended up baking it for an extra half hour because I did them overnight. Next time though, I will add more garlic because I am such a garlic fanatic. Thanks for a great recipe. I'll definitely make this again when these are gone.

I have made this twice and the whole batch doesn't last more than a week between our kids and the DH. I don't even get to put it in the freezer. We tried store bought summer sausage after I made it once. The store brand wasn't nearly as good.

This is still cooking in my oven and I cannot wait another minute to rate. I honestly don't CARE what it tastes like....my house smells ravishing!!! (ok - I cut a bit off the end of one log...and it IS as good as everyone else says!!!) Kudos to Lali! Thanks for another keeper!

Cooked in my smoker for a couple of hours. Co workers love it. Said it compared to local store brand. Thanks
