I saw the thread asking about what to mix with your Venison once it is ground. Through trial and error we have found that the best mix ( for us) for both ground venison and any of your sausages is a 5:1 mixture of Venison to Pork trimmings. Thats 5 lbs of venison to 1 lb of pork trim.
I have tried beef fat or suet and don't care for it due to it not cooking well at times in certain things and then having big white globs of hard goo in your meat.
You can get these pork trimmings from your local butcher or supermarket usually very cheap. I just bought some yesterday for .29 cents a pound and sometimes they just give it to me.
To make it easier just have them grind it for you unless you want to do it on your own.
Once you grind your venison ( we use an electric grinder, nothing fancy or expensive but it does the trick) you just hand mix it in a big pot and once it seems to be mixed nicely then package it up.
Another tip, mix up 5lb batches at a time and it gets mixed better than trying to do large batches.
I have about 40 lbs to grind up tomorrow.
I also have some good breakfast and italian sausage recipes that are super easy and very tasty if anyone is interested?
