You Can Make Summer Sausage at Home

Thanks to @homebeginswithlove, making summer sausage has never been easier! ❤️ Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton Tender Quick) 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring 1 tablespoon mustard seed 1 tablespoon sugar 2-3 teaspoons coarse ground pepper Directions: In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and water until well blended. Season with garlic powder, curing mixture, liquid smoke and mustard seed, and mix thoroughly. It is best to use your hands for this - like meatloaf. Form the mixture into two rolls, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Remove foil from the beef, and poke holes in the bottom of the rolls. Place them on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan to catch the drippings. Bake for 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the preheated oven. Cool, then wrap in plastic or foil, and refrigerate until cold before slicing. ✨ Recipe Inspiration: @homebeginswithlove 🎥: Nicole @nicolemcmom #Summer #sausage #kitchentipsandtricks #groundbeef
