Wow! What an interesting and innovative idea! And probably tasty too! The only thing that makes me squeamish about that recipe is grinding that nice pepperoni. :shock: Each year we have July 1 party at our house and I barbecue 4 different sausages. Will take this one into consideration.
Would definitely be a conversation topic.
