How about a holiday meat pie? (Its not a cheese burger I know) or some kind of meaty pastry that you could share with your friends?
Did you render the fat? Ive heard it makes the best pie crust.

Makes good chili.

Brown the ground bear in skillet.  Smoke it for 1/2 hour with hickory chips.
2 pints soup stock
2 cans maters
2 Tablespoons brown sugar or honey
4 cups of dry beans, soak overnight first
1 large onion diced & sauteed
1/4 cup chili powder
Dash salt
Add water as needed.

Cook it in the crock pot while you're at work.  Yum.
