I grind it into my ground venison.
I have tried grinding it in when making venison burger....did not care for it, everything cooked with it had a bacon flavor.....spaghetti should not taste like bacon IMOWhat I am talking about is just simply ground bacon, not mixed with venison or anything else, just grind the bacon and then cook it like sausage patty's.
expensive sausage and most would cook out into grease. I think I'd just slab out pork shoulders, brine, smoke...then grind into bacon flavored sausage. ORgrind pork shoulders, stuff into casings, brine, smoke and just have bacon flavored sausage 'brats'.
I am always in the minority when this subject comes up but i think it is absolutely disgusting I have ground bacon into my venison and beef burger meat on several occasions and about a week ago i purchased a package of Smithfield bacon link sausage not one of out the four of us eating could get through a single link.I bought it thinking maybe i was somehow doing it wrong at home nope still gross.That being said I love Bacon on pretty much everything but grinding it into other meats just takes two great things and ruins both.
