bacon/burger


Recommended Posts

I posted this last year but it's time to bring it up again.

find bacon ends or less expensive bacon and put it through your grinder with ground beef.  1 to 4 ratio of bacon to ground beef is pretty good.  Tinker with it to your liking. I think the mix could qualify for a State Fair item.   At the very least a great meal at Deer Camp.

Dang, sounds good to me! I never thought of doing that.....hmmmm. lol  Maybe we could combine our "State Fair" items...I had a pound of leftover taco meat, mixed it with some cooked egg noodles, mixed in enchilada sauce, and cooked it down...a bit too much, really thick, Had some flour tortillas.....hmmm....rolled it up in those, and ate it like a burrito. Called it my "portable casserole". A State Fair hit, for sure. :grin:

Exactly what i do - I buy the bacon ends/scraps from coburns - they vac-pack them and sell them under their smokehouse label. I've posted about it before but this is my new favorite use for that old venison you happen across in the freezer.  Did a 50/50 venny -bacon mix and threw in some diced jalepenos.  Made patties and took them up to the rainy river for our annual fall sturgeon fishing trip. Served them topped with pepperjack, onions, stubbs BBQ sauce on a pretzel buns. MANY happy faces around the campground picnic table!  Find your preferred ratio of bacon to meat for a base and sky's the limit on what you can add to enhance it.

I did bacon curge once, and ad way to much bacon, probably 50/50  Might try it again this year with deer, and do a mention ratio of  here of 1:4 and see how that turns out, eel pout fest is a coming and need to have some grilling stuff.

I like to save the trimmings from st louis style ribs over the year and grind that up about 50/50 with venny red meat.  I put a little montreal steak seasoning in it and freeze.  burgers are just dandy. also sometimes I just buy the italian seasoned ground pork and mix that 50/50.  LOve bacon and have tried it a few times with burger but prefer ground pork. Please dont take my man card away. :D

Great to mix in venison also or bear meat for that matter.  Bacon rules!!!!  good luck.

ALWAYS mix bacon with my venison when grinding into burger.  Can't be beat!

I use 1# of bacon for each 2#s of venny. I coarse grind each separately, then throw a clove or two of garlic and 2-3 serranos or jalapenos through the fine plate of the grinder. Mix all ingredients by hand and regrind the full mixture through a fine plate. To finish it off, I mix in some hi-temp pepper jack, patty them up, portion, and freeze. They are killer good on the charcoal grill! ;)

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
