Did up some pepper sticks this weekend. Did these with beef and pork. Kinda felt guilty cutting up such a good lookin bunch of meat. Boneless top round @ $1.99/lb (cheaper than HB) and pork loin @ $1.77/lb (cheaper than butt)
First the beef.

Next the pork.

After the first grind, beef and pork mixed then added the seasonings.

Had 1 rack left so I made up some plain old ABT's and through them in there

Then after what seamed like forever and a million rack changes they are done.

They are ready for a couple days in the fridge to let the flavors blend.

The cold weather dont help when you have to rotate so much.
I started them in the morning and I was starting to think I was going to have to stay up all night.
