Slim Jims or Beef Sticks...

Any of you tried to make these, and if so, any pointers. Gonna try about 25 lbs in a few weeks just using a recipe from Butcher and Packer Supply...

I've made them before and its no different than making regular sausage. Just a little more time consuming because of the smaller case's. I added chopped up jalapeno's and some cheese to mine and everybody seemed to love them. Good luck!

We have been happy with this recipe.

water the meat down so that it stuffs easy

go with around 20% fat for sticks if you're going to dry them. You'll end up with a drier product that wont be mealy. Any spice you use for sausage you can use in this. However I like to spice up my snack sticks!

cubed pepper jack cheese is the ticket.

Meat Sticks..

Bought a kit from Butcher and Packer Supply that would do 25 lbs. and all the stuff you needed. Order the spicier blend. Followed the direction to the t and added jalep and high heat cheddar cheese.. Worked great. So no i have a base and know what i want to add to the next batch... We did 175 lbs. total in the smokehouse. Seven different couples each doing 25 lbs. each.. what a weekend.
