![]() Oh, and I like I said….you could use tofu if PETA was coming. But I’m quite sure PETA wouldn’t set foot in this house. I mean, we like bacon. |

Stacy, could I get that recipe for your venison hot dog chili? That’s one thing I can never seem to make…a truly GOOD hot dog chili and I hate the chilis out of a can 😛 yuck! 🙂
Cynthia, sorry it took me a while to get back to you – I was out of town and didn’t have the recipe. 🙂 I’m working on a hot dog chili recipe for the crock pot, but for now this is the one I’m using from a dear friend: 3 pounds ground venison, 1 pound ground sausage, 1 large onion. Brown the ingredients. Drain. Add 2 cups ketchup, 3 tablespoons chili powder and 2 cups water. Simmer for a few hours to let flavors blend. 🙂
There’s nothing wrong with some good ole “deer meat”, although if you’d have mentioned venison in our house no one would know what you were talking about..lol…I love it in just about anything, breaded and fried, jerkied, stews, soups, burgers….Yum! Too bad Ted isn’t a hunter.
Jason didn’t get a deer last year. I told him if he didn’t get one this year, he couldn’t come home haha! We process our own meat and I have a meat grinder. I might have to see if I can just buy beef fat somewhere. I had been mixing it with 80/20 hamburger, and it does great! This post made me love you just a little bit more lol!
You might contact Cregger’s Meat Processing in Rural Retreat and see if they can get you some beef fat….they do all our processing.
Stacy,
Thanks for giving a great reality check on venison. It’s a tasty and versatile meat that most people don’t appreciate. Most of the time bad game meat is a result of poor meat preparation or butchering. It is really important to understand what one must do with an animial if one chooses ot hunt an animal. I grew up on venison and enjoy cooking with it and really enjoy eating it. Elk is my favorite red meat!
