5 pounds ground beef regular
3 1/2 teaspoons black pepper freshly ground
5 teaspoons salt quick-cure white
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon hickory smoke-flavored salt
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon salt table
Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl and cover. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Mix well and refrigerate for an additional 48 hours. Divide into 4 parts; shape into rolls as for cookie rolls. Pour 1 1/2 cups water into bottom of broiler pan and place rolls of sausage on rack over water. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 1 hour. Cool; store in refrigerator or freeze.
Note: Ground beef with plenty of fat keeps this sausage moist. Good served hot with new potatoes.
