Morton Salami and Pepperoni

[sweet_magnolia]

Very nice, Dave. If I had measured wrong in the beginning not sure if I would have had the confidence to try again. Great job!

X2, and a good way to get into making some really good eats withoot having to have, or purchase, all the gear.

Hey Dave,
Slice some real thin, and I'll give you my fax number.

Thanks,
Bear

What an awesome idea! Why didn't anyone think of that before?

I's be glad to give you my fax # as well... Those look great; I'm working in that direction as well, so thanks for posting Morton's recipes and smoking instructions!

How 'boot that final review Dave

Been a crazy day. Finally got back.

Got them all sliced up.



As I suspected an overnight in the fridge seemed to help the flavor -- or at least my perception thereof.

The pepperoni tastes great. The salami is pretty good too, but it's not Gallo. But considering this was 93/7 ground beef, I'd say it's pretty darn good. And a lot more friendly to my cholesterol level and weight.

Texture came out great. Not crumbly at all. I don't have a slicer but managed to get some thin slices. Great to snack on. I'll definitely be making these again.

Thanks for looking.

Dave

Hey Dave, You probably know already, but just in case you don't think of it, throw a few slices in the frying pan & flip them around a bit---Don't burn them. LOL

Awesome stuff!!!!


Another one of my little snack tricks:
Take a bunch of slices of this stuff, and arrange them around the outside of a paper plate with a paper towel on it. Then put a piece of cheese on each one. Then nuke it until the cheese melts (doesn't take long!). If you leave it in too long, the cheese will bubble up & run onto the paper towel. Ya gotta watch it---Only takes 10 to 30 seconds!!! More Awesome Stuff!!!!

Just a couple suggestions of extra things to do with that great tasting stuff you just made.

Oops . . . sorry. Didn't realize there was a question waiting.

Tweaks to the posted recipe . . . nah. I'd make more next time and store the salami where my salami-devouring son can't find it.

If you're not worried about weight, cholesterol, etc, I wouldn't bother with the 93/7 ground beef and oats. But it's pretty passable made that way if need be.
