<![CDATA[Willies venison sticks, how much red pepper to add?]]>I am making a batch of willies venison sticks and want to spice them up a bit. Was planning on using red pepper. Should I use flakes, ground, or both? How much per lb of meat?

I understand heat is very subjective, I grew up in Louisiana and like things a bit spicy. Just looking for a starting point and will pan fry a bit and scale up based on taste.

We generally use that amount (or roundabout) when we use |Red-Pepper-60k-Ground-5-lb

If they are course I use a spice grinder and him a time or two just to break them down a bit. It evens out the heat throughout the batch.

Have done this many times. I use 1tsp per 5 lb meat. That said, experiment a bit to get to what you like. I’m using ground cayenne. It really perks up the Willie’s. Add some pepper cheese to that and it’s game on. Enjoy! 🌶️🥵🔥👍

But my recommendation to him was to call Excalibur and talk to a technician. They gave him a suggestion and he said it was spot on when he made his product

I dont know how much per pound I add, but for a 25 pound batch it’s around a table spoon if I remember correctly. Also one thing to keep in mind is when you test fry a sample, it will taste hotter than when you stuff it and smoke it
