I haven't made this in quite a while, but I've had a hankering for some good Dutch Loaf luncheon meat for lunches, snacks, etc. and the stuff in the deli is sometimes a bit too salty for my taste.
Here's a 10 lb batch getting mixed up: 60/40 mix of pork/beef, salt, some cure #1, onion powder, ground celery seed, nutmeg, coriander, pepper, and some water. The one change I did this time, to keep it low-carb/keto friendly, was to replace the 1/2 cup sugar with 3 TBS of Pyure natural sweetener (erythretol/stevia blend - both natural sweeteners).

All mixed and loaded into a foil roasting pan, then into the electric smoker at 170° with a small handful of hickory pellets every few hours for a light smoke. This is going to take a while!

After about 10 hours the temperature was bumped to about 190°. After a total of about 14 hours it was finally done! I poured the excess fat off and allowed it to cool to room temperature before going into the fridge for a chill down.

Sliced and ready for snacking.

After some fat & moisture loss we ended up with about 9 lbs of sliced luncheon meat at about $3.55/lb. You better believe I made a sammie right away; some Dutch Loaf, a slice of gouda, a little mustard and pickle on a low-carb wrap... YUM!

Looks excellent Cliff! Will you please share the recipe with your measurements? I want to give this a shot!

Looks like slice spam. Very nice cliff.

Thanks,Sparky. It looks similar, but tastes very different, especially since this is a pork/beef mix. Dutch Loaf has a unique flavor. It's a popular lunch meat in the Pennsylvania & Ohio areas.
