Instructions

Cut the beef and the pork into 1"-1.5" pieces, keeping the two separately and ensuring that the meat stays below 40F at all times.
Grind the beef through a 3/8" (10mm) plate and the pork through a 1/4" (6mm) plate.
Add the salt, the spices, the water, and mix well until the meat is sticky.
Fold in the jalapeno peppers and the cheese, making sure that they are distributed evenly.
Stuff into hog casings, tie off the ends and twist into 6" links.
Smoke over oak or hickory until the internal temperature is at least 165F. You can also cook this sausage on a grill, air fryer or a pan.
