Snack Sticks

[Cliff Bartlett]

Got this recipe a few years ago from Morgan. Love these things and with football getting in full swing and dog days of baseball winding down I decided to restock. Here goes.

6 lbs. of freshly ground beef.

The ingredients. TQ, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, ground corriander, dry mustard and cayenne.

Mixed and in fridge overnight.

Stuffed.

Hung for about an hour.

On smoker @ 180. Pecan for smoke.

Took about 5 hours to reach 160 IT.

Bring on the games.

Hope you're all having a terrific Labor Day Weekend. Thanks for looking.

Those sausage sticks look phenomenal, Cliff!

 

[JRicks]

Those look fantastic. Dumb question though, what is TQ?

 

[James N]

Thanks guys!

Morton’s Tender Quick. It’s a meat cure.

Wonder what ever became of Morgan haven't seen him post in quite awhile.

Don’t know James. It’s been around three years. Keep waiting for him to check in.

Those look killer Cliff!

As far as Morgan C., we're friends on FB and he's doing well, still fishing, bbqing, and grilling.
Here's the link to his snack stick post:

Thanks Bob! Tell him Hi. Used his recipe as a refresher which calls for 2 lbs of meat. They were gone in a flash. Then I decided to triple the recipe (this post). Still not enough. They’re that good.

I was wondering about the recipe as I didn't see any cure mentioned.
Till Jrick's post.....
I also didn't know TQ stood for tender quick

Those snack sticks look real good!

Sorry about that Anne! I'll try and not be so careless in the future. It's kind of ironic. Abbreviations and acronyms drive me nuts.

Those look great Cliff, nice work. Now that the monsoons and heat are winding down. I've got to try that, got Barbs KA and the grinder attachment and the stuffing attachment so I'm out of excuses. What I don't have is a hanging rack for my 18.5 WSM, but I can fake it some how.
