Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp mustard seed
2 Tbsp curing salt 2 tablespoons - sugar-based curing mixture (such as morton® tender quick®
1 Tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seed, curing salt, black pepper and liquid smoke. Mix in the red pepper flakes if desired. Roll the mixture into a 2 inch diameter log, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Make a few slits in the bottom of the roll to allow the fat to drain when cooking. Place roll onto a broiler pan, and fill the bottom part of the pan with about 1 inch of water to keep the salami moist.
3. Bake for 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from pan and cool completely before unwrapping the salami. Slice and eat as lunchmeat, or serve on a tray with crackers and cheese. (Original recipe yield 1 (1-1/2 pound) salami)
