STICK FLAVORS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°, or whatever temperature is recommended on the breadsticks' package. If breadsticks come slathered with butter, wipe them down with a paper towel. Lay out breadsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter (this will help toppings stick better than the frozen butter). For Everything Bagel Breadsticks: Combine all seasonings and sprinkle atop breadsticks. For Sour Cream & Onion Breadsticks: Combine seasonings and sprinkle atop breadsticks. For Garlic-Parmesan Breadsticks: Combine seasonings and sprinkle atop breadsticks. Cook breadsticks according to the package's instructions (typically 5 to 7 minutes), or until lightly golden.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, pork sausage, mustard seed, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, curing salt, black pepper, caraway seed, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder and red pepper flakes. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• For the next three days, knead the meat for 5 minutes, then return to the refrigerator. On the fourth day, knead, then form into 6 equal logs. Wrap each log in aluminum foil, and poke a few holes in the foil.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place the logs onto a broiler pan to catch the grease. Bake for 6 hours in the preheated oven. Turn off the oven, and leave the logs in for another 3 hours after baking. Refrigerate until chilled, then slice and serve.
