List of Ingredients







Serves: 16
Prep. Time: 2 days, 10 hours

5 lbs. lean ground beef OR venison
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup chopped garlic
2 1/2 Tbls. Morton® Tender Quick® - see "Notes" below
1 Tbls. liquid smoke
1 Tbls. coarse ground black pepper
1 Tbls. seasoned salt
1 Tbls. ground mustard seed
4 tsp. hickory smoke salt - see "Notes" below
2 tsp. monosodium glutamate (MSG) - see "Notes" below
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
coarse ground black pepper - to coat




-In a large bowl, knead together all ingredients, except coarse ground pepper to coat.
-Divide meat mixture into 2 even portions and place each portion into a sealable plastic zipper bag.
-Refrigerate meat for at least 2 days (not to exceed 3 days), kneading the bags twice daily.
-Divide contents of each bag into 2-3 equal portions, making a total of 4-6.
-On waxed paper, roll each portion into a 2"-3" thick log.
-Sprinkle coarse ground pepper over waxed paper and roll each log over pepper to coat.
-Place logs 2" apart on an ungreased broiler pan (grease needs to drain while baking).
-Bake in a 200 degree oven for 9 hours, turning 3 times while baking. After 9 hours, check internal temperature of thickest part of a log; if temperature has not reached 155 degrees, increase oven temperature to 250 degrees and bake an additional 30 minutes.
-Cool before cutting.

Notes: Morton® Tender Quick® and hickory smoke salt can be found in most large supermarkets near the salt and spices. Monosodium glutamate is sold as the brand name Accent® and can also be found near the salt and spices
