I want to make 5 lb batch of lean venison with bacon ends and pieces . I read its better to cook bacon then add to the venison , more flavor . I use the LEM snack stick packets. Going to cook 2 lbs of bacon pieces then add to 3lb venison . Then smoke with applewood. By using cooked bacon will that throw the mix off ,2 lbs cooked will not weigh 2 lbs? I have made these before using 90 percent lean ground beef and turned out great .Appreciate your thoughts .
