Due to allergies to pork in the family I use beef fat to mix.  I try to keep it down to 5% turns out really good IMHO.

Dido, I also use cow fat. Otherwise deer meat doesn't hold together well when grounded. It is too lean and falls apart when making burgers.

Bacon ends and bits for the win...

 :yeah: Ground 25# last night at 90/10. Delicious. Unlike some of you, I also use it in spaghetti, tacos, etc... and I think its awesome. its not enough bacon to be over powering, just some fat and a little smokey.

Lots of guys posted they don't like the bacony taste in meals like spaghetti, tacos, chili, etc. I think they're borderline nut cases, but I'm only one man  :chuckle:

Ive used 25% leg of lamb with venison to make breakfast sausage patties.  To me it helps retain the venison flavor as opposed to making it taste like pork.  Its fat is also pretty tacky so it binds well and cooks away nicely.  Id have to dig out my recipe but I add a little cayenne pepper, smoked paparika, sage, and a bit liberal on some pumpkin spice.

That's a super good idea too

I mean... I may be a nutcase... but if I wanted bacon flavored tacos and spaghetti I would've started adding bacon bits to those things a long time ago.  It might not be "bad", just not the flavor I'm going for when I make those meals.

Understandable. Honestly, I add such a small amount of it to my grind that the taste is almost imperceptible, just adds a smoky hint to it and just the right amount of fat. But at least you can admit there may be a bit of nut case in you, that's the first step.
