Bear sausage or pepperoni? Recipe and directions?
(1/3) > >>
IBspoiled:
Would like to turn some bear meat into sausage or pepperoni.  Have never tried making either before.  I have a meat grinder, but not the sausage stuffer, but I can get one.  We also have a Lil Chief smoker.  A couple questions I have, does the smoker get the bear meat to the right temperature needed?  I have read it is like pork and you have to get the temperature right or can get sick.  Does anyone have a spice recipe that they could share?  And any tips in making this would be great.  I have probably about 30lbs of meat.  Thanks, IBspoiled Wife

If your going to make Sausage or Pepperoni, I'd do a 50/50 mix with pork.

Go to Cabelas and look at the seasonings they have there. They have pre mix ready to go usually in 25lb increments.

Fire up your Lil Chief without wood chips. Cook it at 180 for 3-4 hours. look for the casing to start to sweat, and temp probe the meat to make sure its at about 170 degrees.

Do I really have to mix with pork?  I hate store bought meats.  I got a season packet and everything else ready.  Will it taste terrible if I don't use pork?   :dunno:  Thanks for the input.

you need the pork for the fat content. Pork shoulder Boston butt or picnic all the same thing just different names.
