    Today, The Bearded Butchers are making deer bacon! This venison bacon recipe isn't for the faint of heart, but it's a lot of fun to make and the same process can be applied to any lean meat or game meat. The deer bacon recipe we used today uses a number of different projects that we have available in our store along with a wealth of knowledge for free, right here on CZcams! Follow along as Scott and Seth take another animal from field to table and show everyone the right way to use every bit of every animal that they harvest.
    16:00 - Scott's Hot Tip
    Full Venison Bacon Recipe:
    1) Mix 12.5lb venison trim with 12.5lb pork trim for 25lb meat total (meat should be as cold as possible so keep in the fridge until you're ready to start).
    2) Mix meat together with maple seasoning kit and cure (If you want to avoid sugar, add 7oz salt instead of the maple seasoning). Feel free so add some other things here as well like our jalapeno powder or hot or cajun seasoning for some heat or some of our diced fruit for a sweet and fruity option.
    3) Grind seasoning, meat, and cure mixture twice. Coarse grind first with a 10 and a finer grind second with a 4.5. Check out MEAT! for a grinder, we recommend 1.5hp because it's the only one with enough power to run the mixer too. meat-your-maker.pxf.io/doBmjq @meat2936
    4) Mix the meat after the grind. Check out MEAT! again for a mixer meat-your-maker.pxf.io/gb7kWO. Mix forward for 4 minutes, then in reverse again for 4 minutes. Add some ICE COLD water during the mixing. Two 16oz bottles of ice cold water (32oz total) should be enough.
    5) Form the loafs in lined pans. Coat the loafs with 🧂 Cinnamon Swirl bit.ly/3Lbop3F or Black 🧂 bit.ly/3MRa9hA. Blends with sugar (Black, Cinnamon Swirl, or Hollywood) are the best for bacon.
    6) Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    7) Lay down some butcher paper bit.ly/3A5WbAQ to keep your processing area clean. Flip the pans and dump out the formed meat slabs onto some smoking screens like these amzn.to/3r2aBgP. Season the exposed sides that hadn't been previously seasoned.
    8) Get the slabs on the smoker at 185 degrees F. Check out Grilla's end of summer sale grillagrills.pxf.io/6bZL0K for a CRAZY price on a grill with 160# of pellets! @GrillaGrills. (You can TURN ON a GRILLA from your PHONE!).
    9) We smoked for 180 degrees F for 4 hours then stepped up to 200 degrees until the bacon hit internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Pull them off of the smoker for about an hour to rest, then put them in the fridge overnight to firm up.
    10) Slice the bacon on a MEAT! deli slicer meat-your-maker.pxf.io/zaMEAr.
    11) Cook to perfection and enjoy! Check out the MEAT! kitchen knife set to finish everything up meat-your-maker.pxf.io/0JqWgR.
    12) Vacuum seal the rest of the bacon (if there's any left) with the MEAT! vacuum sealers meat-your-maker.pxf.io/b3Xx6v

    My local game processing shop does deer bacon like this. It’s phenomenal. Don’t have to fry it, can eat it cold like lunch meat. I like putting it in a wrap with some horseradish sauce 👨‍🍳

    My grandpa owned a butcher shop for a long time and continued to process meats for years after. Growing up, his venison bacon was my favorite and I still make it to this day even after his passing. His butcher shop was known for his variety of bacons so it is nice to see more butchers take in these varieties of styles of bacon!

    I used your DIY maple bacon kit. I've been making bacon for about 4 years now. Your product was great and easy to use. I did add liquid smoke to it. Before I would use real Maple syrup in my bacon, but it never did get enough of that maple flavor. This kit works great.

    WOW! This sounds divine guys! Will have to give this a try! We are hoping for an elk and deer this year so this would be a wonderful addition to the meat use. THANKS for all the links and helpful details. Best to you
