ground venison

[comet]

You guys ever try pork sausage with ground venison. They make real good burgers. 50/50 - 1lb to 1lb.

Makes a great meatloaf also!

We use 70% deer meat;25% Beef Plates and 5% Kidney Fat. You can usually find pretty easy at the butcher shop. I like the Kidney Fat because it has a better flavor.

70% venison, 15% trimmed brisket (always from the head of the brisket) 15% pork sausage (blue and gold). I grind the venison twice and the brisket twice then I use a wooden spoon and my hand to blend everything together then I grind it a third time. It holds a good shape and has just enough fat to remain juicy but not become a grease ball.

Great idea....I have about 30 lbs of venison that needs some attention. Brisket sounds like a helluva addition for our normal hamburger uses.

On the venison bacon burgers, I grind an 80% ven / 20% bac using the ends and pieces you can buy in a bulk box at Wal-Mart....that stuff is some kind of good on the grill and a deer lease camp favorite!!

For teh preson asking about the grinders, it is hard to beat the Northern Tool grinder for the money and power......

and it looks like it is on sale again......

i'd have to second the 50/50 with brisket. i had some done this year and it ended up being around $1 a pound. it's nice not having to buy ground at the store...plus it's cheaper! i think that it taste better...we make everything with it.

I got a question. My wife says she can taste the gamey taste when i grind deer hamburger. I use beef talon and straight deer. I mix it at 80% deer 20% talon. Could someone tell me how to get raid of the gamey taste so she will eat it? It doesnt bug me but it does her. Thanks.

I use 90% deer to 10% beef fat from the butcher. Been doing it for years and we make everything from hamburgers, spagetti, meatloaf, to hamburger helper with it.

I have got to try the brisket thing though.

Abbott,
I make sure to separate the muscles on the hams. There are a couple of internal glands stuck in the fat that are gray in color. If you cut those the gamey taste comes out pretty bad. Mixing more beef fat also helps.

x2 bacon/deer, some good stuff

[Abbott]

may have to try the bacon ends or something. Will have to try the brisket also. Thanks.

I buy untrimed brisket and then I mix 60% venison and 40% beef makes awesome burgers and every thing in between, Do the same thing with a pork but with my own seasoning and same ratio to make venison pan sausage.

Just don't shoot the gamey tasting deer.
I've never tasted a gamey deer before.
