Burger, breakfast sausage & brats.

[Colorado Cowboy]

Just finished grinding, stuffing and adding spices to my venison meat. Ended up with 25# breakfast sausage, 15# brats and 40# burger. A couple of months ago I bought 20# of bacon ends & pieces, used it for the fat in everything. It is going to be great. That along with steak stew meat and jerky will this years game meat.

I've gotten to the point that all of the grind meat that I have off of wild game goes to jerky. I'll save the back straps for savory dinners but all the rest gets ground.

Somehow that jerky disappears quite quickly between me and my friends..

Cant wait to finally be in the new house with access to a big countertop with all of my butchering stuff.

Last year hit our pocketbooks hard as we took our deer to the processor for general cut and wraps ($90 each).

I had 2 bows blow up on me, so I am stuck with store- bought meats. For the foreseeable future
Smoked Cornish Hens and Andoie Sausage isn't bad.
Either is Beef ribs and baby backs!
I did make Javelina sausage, mixed with pork shoulder and jerky that turned out great.
I even made steaks marinated in Italian dressing.

I've heard that roadrunner drumsticks are delicious

We are having a Swimming Pool installed, and the Roadrunners have made themselves scarce.
I only see them on the neighbors' rooftops or running through the underbrush...
And to think I just bought them a family pack of thin pork chops, they're favorite.

I can almost taste those delicious venison creations you've whipped up. Using bacon ends and pieces for the fat? Genius move! That's going to add such a rich flavor to everything. I'm actually new to this forum, stumbled upon it while looking for some recipe inspiration. Your post definitely caught my eye! I'm always on the lookout for unique ways to cook game meat, and you seem to have nailed it. Have you ever tried experimenting with venison on pizza? I recently visited this spot called https://www.therevolution.ie/, and they had this amazing venison pizza that blew my mind. Seriously, it was a game-changer (pun intended)! If you're ever in the mood for something different with your venison, you should totally check them out.

I used to use pork shoulder roast for fat and added meat. A buddy in Alaska told me about the bacon ends & pieces. We have a local smaller grocery store and the butcher ordered my a case of ends & pieces. 30# in 2# frozen packages. I paid $90.00 or $3.00/pound. You are right about the different flavor. My burger has a hint of smokey flavor and gives it just the right amount of fat. I use 20% by weight.

Everything is better with bacon in it.

Bacon ends and pieces is all I've used for years in my sausages and chorizo. We have made excellent breakfast, Italian, chorizo sausages ect. out of bear, turkey, wild boar, javelina, deer, elk and antelope, all with the ends and pieces as the fat content. Really makes for excellent finished product!
