Winter Warmer Snack Sticks
by Seth Harms
A friend and I decided to try and make some snack sticks over Christmas break. (Both teachers, get to enjoy a long one) I have never tried this before, but I thought it would be a heck of a lot cheaper than from a locker. The flavor of the sticks was excellent. (probably best flavor I have ever had.) I did mix in some jalapeno's and some cheese. The one problem we had was the texture. All I have is a hand grinder with different sized stuffers, and it really didn't feed through the stuffer very well. Much of the meat would get "held back" in the auger and turned it a little mushy. I took the cutter out, but left the big hole attachment in. Should I have taken that out too so the meat would just go through the auger, directly into the stuffer? They did get a little dry on me too, but I used 73/27 beef when I did the mix, and I had to finish them off in the oven. I am not giving up yet, the flavor was awesome, now just need to work on the details Thanks for the recipe Click here to read or post comments.
