I Have A Question

Mike-
Welcome to the Forum!

What recipe are you using? The Marianski recipe is just the opposite 70% pork and 30% beef. pepperoni is traditionally a lean sausage, fat was not added. However we are used to it being a sausage with a higher fat content. I find it best use 60% pork, 25% beef, and 15% back fat, especially for pizza. Don't leave out the Anise!!!
