So I went ahead and ground up my deer grind this afternoon. I am the only one in the group wanted deer and beef this year for processing day so being that we have 17 deer and 3 wild hogs to process, I went ahead and got my grind meat out of the way.
I always eat what is left in the stuffer...usually just fry it and make a sandwich for a quick meal after hours processing whatever I am making, but this time, I had leftover homemade marinara from the firehouse cook last thursday and already cooked linguini I needed to eat. So I made meatballs with the leftover grind instead.
It was a good choice! Meatballs were perfect! As every good Italian knows....the secret to good meatballs is two meats, milk and bread crumbs....with a little Parmesan cheese.
The grind meat from the stuffer...
Inda bowl, 3/4# deer/beef/brisket fat grind, little cajun seasoning, bread crumbs, little Italian herbs, Parmesan cheese, and a little less than 1/4 cup of milk. I just wing it having made meatballs like this all my life...
mix:
form the balls...
Drop inda sauce...shake the pot to cover, don't move with a utensil and break them up.
leave simmer for 20 minutes, then gently flip and cook 5 minutes more...heat the pasta and lets eat!!
Meat balls were juicy juicy and soft like they should be!
