Made of a combination of beef, pork, and bacon ends, Pepperoni Snack Sticks are the ultimate snack food. A special combination of spices makes them different than anything you can buy at the store.
If you are grinding your own meat, try freezing it for up to 30 minutes, to make it easier to grind. Sometimes it is helpful to pass the meat through the grinder twice.
It is important to use glass, ceramic, or plastic bowls when mixing your meats with the fast cure. If you use aluminum or steel (or other reactive metals), a chemical reaction will occur and it will ruin the mixture or could cause you to get ill.
