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! ;)

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
