Adding bacon to sausage?

[Roscoe]

Any if y'all ever add bacon as a part of your sausage mix?

I made some wild pork pan sausage this morning and was doing a little experimenting. I added bacon ends at 10% of total meat volume and I have to say it really made a nice difference. It's not such a heavy amount/flavor that you just think BACON with every bite, but it adds a nice smokey flavor that is pretty killer. It'll be a part of the regimen from here on out.

Thats how we make ours. Instead of using straight fat we buy the bacon ends and pieces at walmart. Gives it a awesome added flavor.

Yep, my neighbor does that. I'll give it a try.

Will have to try that with wild hog. I add bacon to deer when we grind burger very tasty.

Don't think I have ever eaten anything with bacon in it that wasn't good.

I have added to my venison breakfast sausage for years. IMO it's hard to beat in patty sausage.

Yup one large pack per 10 pounds...turns out great

We have done this for years!! We'll go as high as 15 to 20% depending on how much fat we want in it.
After all BACON is the 1st major food group.

Now fry or grill and enjoy!

I have used bacon in the past. Haven't had anything to process for a couple of years now, but when I get the chance to hunt again, hopefully I can do this again.

Try adding bacon ends when you're just grinding deer up for HB. It's awesome. Makes everything tste like a bacon cheeseburger.

Been doing that for a couple of years now. It's killer. My bride made a meatloaf out of "pork bacon-burger" about a month ago because it was the only ground meat we had in the freezer. I was shocked at how good a meatloaf it made. I've made breakfast sausage for several years, but never been 100% satisfied with it. No idea why I never thought to try the bacon ends in it, but it darn sure put it over the top.
