I've had some smoked hams made in the past with'em, never been terrible impressed, but they weren't horrible eiither, definitely worth trying once.  Otherwise, breakfast patty sausage, thuringer and some Polish dogs usually.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I usually make a big batch of breakfast sausage, have thin strips for BBQ'ing, and then grind a bunch into hamburger

I make Wisconsin Style Beer Braut's; mild and spicy. 3 to 1 mix with back fat from pig. I do it all myself so I get to control the ingredients. Except for the tenderloins, those I saute' in garlic and olive oil and eat them first night of Elk camp.

Pepperoni sticks.  breakfast sausage.  Beer dogs.  Red hots.  Backstraps for bear-fajitas.
You can do some slow cooker, pot roast type recipes with the roasts too.

I'm having some pepperoni sticks and PBR right now!  Two great tastes that taste great together...

I don't want to steal the thread, but on the same subject, does anyone know what the mix of fat is that most butchers would add to bear meat to make hamburger??

Only one bear under my belt so far....and I cut it up myself and turned the whole bear into steak and stew meat, no processed products, no grinding.  The bear made great dinner and brkfst steaks, the stew sized chunks made great shishkabobs and stew, fajitas, scrambled with eggs, stroganoff, etc..... Excellent eating meat.

Next bear I plan on pressure canning a bit aswell....

When I am hungry for pepperoni...I buy pepperoni....

What do you guys do with the BS and tenderloins? :drool:

Tender loins are floured and spiced and cooked hot and fast in a little oil and butter. Backstraps are either cooked whole in a crock pot or sliced thin and cooked as steaks. Thin is the key.

Bratwurst, backstrap steaks, and when I was a kid, we had a bunch processed like chipped beef.  My brother and I would sneak into the freezer and eat it out of the package, yum!!

That's pretty much up to the customer. The processor will usually go with the percentage you ask for.
