Greg's Spicy Beef Sticks


Thanks' for the recipe Greg these are one tasty snack



Made a 5 pound batch of these yesterday, only problem I had
Was should of made ten pounds, probably still not enough.

Used five pounds beef and a little bit of pork trim i had.





Stuffed them in a 22mil casing that's all I had in stock.



Smoked with 2 hours of hickory on these.
Here they are ready to come out.
IT of sticks was at 155 degrees.



In the house on cool down   






That was the last time I seen them, No need to worry about vac packing
they were devoured within four hours by my son's and their friends.
Wife did get to taste of them, said I need to make more. Go figure...

Funny how that happens. At least you got to take a couple of pictures to prove you made them.
Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

I'm still looking for a third arm when it comes to stuffing them,by the time i hold
pressure on the casing and spin the crank on the stuffer I've got my hands full
Nice set up you have BigJohnT

Thats where the motor for the stuffer comes in handy, one hand on the sausage and one hand on the casing.

Glad you and everyone else liked them.  :)

The batch I made a week ago, I added more of each kind of pepper. They came out quite spicy and are really good. They will be gone the first day of trout season this Sat.

Nice looking snacks.  I have not seen a PBR years.  Used to drink it when I lived in Kansas a long time ago.  I did not know that they still made it.  I am looking at the Pabst Blue Ribbon in the photo.  Brings back lots of memories  ;D


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

I'm nowhere near there, I'm just experimenting with other people's recipes
and enjoying the results.

I use some speed clamps to hold it down when I run the stuffer by myself.
