Venison Bacon

[kel krause]

Wish I would have found this a few days ago . I just took some game meat in to have them make Bacon.. I would much rather try things myself and have full quality control over it all.

I have enough of last year venision in my freeze I'm still going to attempt this.. 

 

[mossymo]

it is good stuff Kel, let know what you think after you make it!

Received my bacon seasoning now just waiting for mother. Nature to hive me a few nice non rain days for my electric smoker

 

[kel krause]

DUMB QUESTION but....Can you over or under season bacon..How forgiving is the process..what if you have slightly more or less meat..?..using Curlys

 

[kel krause]

Mother nature isn't play far..So I mixed up my ground venison bacon & put it in lined foil pans yesterday ..Now its going to rain or snow today...what's best thing to do leave it alone in fridge for what may end up being 2 days or dry it in oven..then smoke it tomr. Or Friday which ever day it ends up not snowing

Finally ..I have Bacon & I have to say its awesome...We took some meat in & had it done at a meat shop. Right before I found this forum. Just got their rendition of bacon .Yesturday I have to boast alittle & say mine is better & I'm not the only 1 that has said so...Thanks everyone for info & Curly's for great seasoning product..

I have a question about adding in pork meat vs just pork fat. When I smoke a pork roast I have been trimming off the fat cap and saving it in the freezer. If I have 10 lbs of venison, how much straight pork fat should I add in? Do I need to add pork meat in?

Great post! I am currently making my second batch of this bacon for the year. I would highly suggest all hunters to make this themselves. I have people who will not eat venison eating this bacon.

I have been wanting to try this since I saw it. Got a small batch of it in the smoker now. Looks and smells great...

 

[wazzuqer]

Anybody ever ran any of this thru a meat slicer? Seems like it firmed up pretty good after I pulled it out of the smoker...

 

[chevyguy16]

I cut mine with a slicer. Makes it very easy and quick to cut

 

[wazzuqer]

Had my last batch today. I hadn't had any in 3 months or so but I think it is like cheese and wine. it tastes better with time, not that it was bad from the start. It just had more flavor, I just wish I had more done....

Been having mine made for the last few years @ about $4.00/lb. Now that I have my first smoker this year and Santa getting a super nice grinder for Christmas. MY own personally made DEER BACON No. 1 Priority..

I just dropped in here with a question. My boyfriend and his brother want to make some venison bacon.  They have smoked meats before but never made bacon.  I saw someting from someone named "cowgirl" about a homemade spice mix for venison bacon.  I tried to print it through Total recipes Search with no luck.  Someone else suggested Curleys products as good seasoning in the absence od a homemade spice recipe.  I wonder if someone could forward this email to cowgirl and ask her to reply to me personally.  I don.t think I would be able to find this forum again. I am not very good at searching on a computer.

My email is [email protected]   I would really appreciate a reply since I don't know where else to look for an answer to my search.

 I think this may be my first request as a new member. My friend also wants to make venison bacon - for he and I- and then for his family.  I saw the thread under wild game/venison bacon but when I tried to open the recipe or the photos I got nowhere.  Can you give me specific instructions( where to click - etc) so that I can print the recipe and the pix.  I have bookmarked this forum so that I can find my way back if I get lost.  My friend has smoked quite a bit of beef and pork using

 his Brinkman smoker but this will be the first time making bacon.

Thanks for your help.

Just google cowgirls country life. I've never tried the bacon kits like curley's, but they are really more of a caseless summer sausage spice mix smoked in a tin tray and then sliced to resemble bacon. I prefer to make Canadian style deer bacon from roasts. Just search Bearcarvers recipes on this site. If i'm gonna buy a pork shoulder I may as well do a buckboard bacon.
