in need of pepperoni!

[checkdude]

In need of pepperoni! Was informed by my kids and grandkids that we are out of pepperoni so what is a man to do? Make more of course. 6 lbs of ground beef and cure,b. Pepper,w. Pepper,mustard seed,red pepper flakes, Garlic, sugar, paprika, anise,salt,dry mil7,fermento,cold water all mixed up and ready for stuffing. all I had on hand was 24 mm collagen so that's what I used. Put in fridge overnight and in the morning in the smoker it went. here is the result. Now in paper bag and fridge for a day or two before packaging for the kids and friends. If I'm lucky there will be some left for me two.

WOW!!!
That looks amazing.......watching this thread.

Can you post a picture of it sliced in half when it's done please. I'm looking to make some to have on hand this winter for my pizza making nights.

Thank you.

They would go great with a beer! Home made pepperoni sounds the bomb.

Do you actually cook them in the smoker or is it a cold smoke? Can I buy ground mince from my Butcher and do this or do you need to mince it myself?

I would really like to try this but dont want to have to buy a mincer.

Some could always get "misplaced" while packing the rest.

Yes to cook in the smoker. And buying already ground is fine. I do it sometime when making a small batch so as to avoid washing the grinder.
