I mentioned in the post here that I was going to try a homemade pepperoni recipe I found at a site called Tammy's Recipes.This appealed to me for several reasons. First, I normally buy pepperoni at Aldi's which is a 40 mile trip I can't always make. Second, I love the idea of "make it yourself recipes." Anything that I can make from basic supplies I have on hand is a plus for me. Third, I have control over what goes in it!
The picture above is how it turned out. I had everyone try some and they all thought it was really good. Hubby suggested it would be great on crackers, too. I loved that it was not greasy, although I had to use 80% lean hamburger because the store didn't have anything leaner.
Next time I will make my rolls a little smaller around. I thought they would shrink more than they did. I will also lower the rack in my oven. I think it got a little too brown during the last hour of cooking. My quick cost analysis was about $3.45 for approx. 100 slices of a much healthier version of what I usually purchase! Below is a pic of the mini pizzas I made for lunch boxes. Yum!

Thanks for posting about trying this! I've wondered about making pepperoni too after seeing it over at Tammy's recipes.
I came over from MomAdvice.
I just got a food slicer, and I was thinking how great it would be to be able to buy the sticks of pepperoni and get it cheaper. Now I'll have to try this because I'm with you - if I can make a "convenience food" myself, I'm going to do it. I like a challenge. :)
Thanks for posting!!
where's the recipe so we can try too?
Now you'll need to make your own mozzarella cheese!!
We just mad our first batch from Tammy's recipe and am very pleased with the result. I sliced it right out of the oven, but the slices were really too thick. After I refrigerated it, I broke out my food processor and sliced them nice and thinly!
