Homemade Summer Sausage Aka Salami image

This recipe is as old as the hills. I've made it for the last 50 years and it was old when I got it. I thought it would be a good addition, so that young cooks can see how easy it is to make a basic sausage. You can play with it, add more spice or whatever. I do suggest trying it as written first. Just as good as what you can buy, but you know what is in there. I make a double recipe and then freeze it. It is really easy and quick to whip this up and costs a lot less than store bought. Prep time does not include sitting in the fridge for 24 hours.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 8

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
  • Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
  • Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
  • Ready to use or freeze.
