5 lbs ground steak or 3.5 ground beef and 1.5 ground pork
7.5  tsp salt
1 t cure 1
2 t Accent (opt) if you add this only use 5 t salt
2 tsp of liquid smoke (opt)
4 t black pepper
2.5 t mustard seed
2.5 tsp fennel seeds, slightly crushed
1 1/4 t anise seed
1 1/4 t garlic powder
17-20mm collagen casing or sheep rinsed and clean.

If you want you can mix and fridge the mix overnight, stuff next day. Stuff at your desired lengths or hang, smoke these at no higher than 175. Your wanting a meat IT of 151-152 The amount of smoke you want is your decision. Im going to put 4 hours of smoke to mine.

Taste is good but they need some fridge time to mellow. I put 4 hours of AMZNPS blend smoke to em. I ended taking the heat to 175.

3.5 t salt.

1.5 t accent (opt) if not used make the salt at 4.5 t

1.5 t fennel

1 t anise... you can add more here too but use small adds

1.5 t garlic powder

2 t liq smoke...again opt

1/2 t cure 1
