I can't wait to try this recipe. How much fat do you add to the 2 pounds of venison? Any certain kind of fat that you use? Thanks for the recipe and help.
I add about 15% beef fat to my venison. That's only for the meat I use for this pepperoni and for the meat I make burgers on the grille.
Other than that - I don't add fat for the meat destined for spaghetti and tacos.
I've never put it in casings either but it sounds like it would work fine.
And if you don't have wild game, store-bought burger works very well.
