These are a bold flavor similar to Johnsonville Beddar Cheddar or "gas station" cheese hotdogs. Use any casings or natural hog casings. For larger or smaller amounts, just multiply, for example 5 lbs is 2.3 kg, so for 5 lb multiply all ingredients by 2.3, but better to just work in metric ;)
Recipe for 1000g, 1kg or 2.2 lb , meat:
pork butt, 600g, about 20% fat
beef 400g
meat should have approx 25% fat
salt 1.8%, 18g
sugar 3%, 30g -- or use a substitue like I do like 1 for 1 monkfruit sweetener. This high sweetness gives an overall bacony flavor.
