When making snack sticks would it be OK to mix some ground pork with the ground beef & if so what ratio would you suggest. Thanks in advance.

If you don’t want to do that then I would consider adding a Binder to help with the meat binding and the consistency. Either way though the 80/20 will still get you there!

A lot of snack sticks are a mix or just straight pork so adding some won’t cause you any issues. In fact, I think it will make it a better finished product!
