[jwcnj4502]

Making some snacks on this snowy winter day. Started yesterday with a hunk of eye round that I ground up.

I had some "sausagemaker"mixes that I mixed into 2 one pound batches. One Cajun Spice and one Jerky Spice. Never had either one so we'll see how they are.

Let them rest in the fridge while I got things ready.

I've been thinking of doing something similar but i think I'm gonna cold smoke them first and finish in dehydrater.

Don't leave out any details I'm gonna be following on this one!

Finished sticks minus a good number of which have been already eaten. Took some to work today for some friends to try.

The Jerky Spice ones were my choice of the two.Nice mild flavor but no real "kick" to it. The Cajun spice wasn't real spicey but had a bit too much oregano taste to it for my liking. Next time the Jerky spice one is done I'll definitely add a little liquid smoke and cayenne to spice it up. Next time I will probably do them at a lowere setting than the 160* I used because they did dry out a little bit on the ends. Overall though a good way to spend a snowy day.
