Grandma Claudine's Salami (or GG as the kids called her)

You will need-
5 lbs lean ground beef (80-20 no fatter)
5 tsp cure salt ( Morton makes a good one, comes in a blue bag)
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp liquid smoke
2,3,4 tsp red pepper flakes depending on how hot you like it
Mix very well (i use my hands)
Put into a bowl, refrigerate, for 3 full days mixing well each day

The 4th day roll into 8 tight logs about the width of a silver dollar and about 12 inch long or so
Place these into a broiler pan and bake 150 degrees for 8 hours turning once half way through

Using paper toweling roll to remove the extra grease that has pooled
Wrap in parchment, foil etc. enjoy! I usually freeze some
Great for sandwiches, crackers or just eating
If you dont have a brolier pan, crumple up some foil and then straighten out some leaving ridges for the grease to pool into.
I will post a picture when i make it again (Sam should be asking soon-lol)
