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.
Mix beef, pork, bacon, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, allspice, cayenne pepper, crushed fennel, whole fennel, and fast cure in a glass, ceramic, or plastic bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Use the stuffing tube on your meat grinder to fill the collagen casings.
Prepare your smoker to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Lightly smoke for 4 hours.
After smoking, let cool then cut into 7-inch (18cm) sticks.
