Provided by barbara lentz

Categories     Beef

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 lasagna noodles
70 pepperoni rounds
1/2 c shredded parmesan cheese
1 lb ground beef
4 clove garlic minced
salt and pepper
1/4 c dry red wine
24 oz spaghetti sauce
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
fresh basil

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the lasagna noodles in salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and lay out on parchment paper. Place 5 pepperoni pieces on each noodle. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • 2. Place the ground beef in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until beef is almost done. Add the wine and let most evaporate.
  • 3. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Spoon some sauce in bottom of a 9x15 pan. With a slotted spoon, spoon meat sauce on each lasagna noodle.
  • 4. Roll up each lasagna noodle and place in pan. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce over top. Place in a preheated 375 degree oven. Bake 15 minutes.
  • 5. Add the shredded Mozzarella and bake another 10 minutes. Garnish with the fresh basil

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pepperoni will taste. Look for high-quality ground beef, spices, and casings.
  • Grind the beef yourself. If possible, grind the beef yourself using a meat grinder. This will give you more control over the texture of the pepperoni.
  • Use a variety of spices. Pepperoni is typically made with a combination of spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper, chili powder, or oregano, to taste.
  • Stuff the casings tightly. When you stuff the casings, make sure to do it tightly so that there are no air pockets. This will help to prevent the pepperoni from drying out during the smoking process.
  • Smoke the pepperoni slowly and evenly. Pepperoni is typically smoked for 6-8 hours at a temperature of 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit. Smoking the pepperoni slowly and evenly will help to develop its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Making your own beef pepperoni is a great way to enjoy this delicious snack at home. By following these tips, you can make pepperoni that is just as good as, or even better than, store-bought pepperoni. So next time you're looking for a satisfying snack, give this homemade beef pepperoni recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
