🥘 Ingredients

4
Original: 4
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 tablespoons quick curing salt (Mortons Tender Quick salt)

📋 Instructions

  1. Mix together all ingredients in a nonmetal bowl. It is easier to mix the seasoning with the water, then incorporate the meat, using your hands to distribute all spices evenly (like making a meatloaf). A note, based on a review, do not over mix the meat or it will be tough. This is true about any kind of meat, work it just enough to get every thing incorporated.
  2. I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
  3. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  4. Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
  5. Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
  6. Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
  7. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
  9. Ready to use or freeze.
