Here's a great and super easy recipe:

3lbs of ground venison
2lbs of ground pork
3 tablespoons of rubbed sage
1/2 tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons of kosher salt
1 tablespoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 cup of ice water

1. Combine all the spices and mix into the cup of ice water
2. Mix the spices with the ground venison and pork. (Really smoosh and kneed it thoroughly for about 5 minutes to mix it well.)
3. Fry up a sample. If you like it hotter add more pepper to taste.
4. I pack it in freezer paper in 4 oz. portions. You can always thaw a few packs if you need more.

Assuming you use ground pork with a 80/20 fat content, you're looking at approximately 8%-10% +/- total fat content for the finished product. You'll probably need to use oil in your skillet.

I really like this recipe. It is nearly impossible to mess up, is quick, and tons of fun!

We don't eat pork so I was wondering if you could substitute beef? I know it would be a different texture and taste, just wondering if anyone else had tried it?

I had a guy put beef in mine. I killed the deer in oct and by christmas it was rancid. I stick with straight venison. I add any pork when mixing my sausage.

Didn't grow up eating it partly due to religious reasons and my grandpa raised it. I fed it too many times. The first job I remember getting paid for was hauling water at a hog slaughter still can't get the smell out of my nose. I remember my grandmother making hogs head cheese for my grandfather and dad in her kitchen. Freaked me out. Can't hardly stand the smell or texture. I like the idea of straight venison.

So it sounds like the ground pork has fat mixed in.
Is the venison just ground with no fat? Or does it have some type of fat mixed in it as well?

I don't eat pork either and live in the same town I don't know which one of you I'm talking to but I know all of your family if you have a brothers name that starts with a B or V or K I would be willing to contribute some deer meat to try some with beef I don't have a grinder tho.
