lumpy Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Ice fished with someone last year who makes his venison hamburger with bacon as the add-in. I forgot the ratio but was wondering what would work the best, 30 - 50 %? He cooked some for us in his ice house and they were great so I thought I would give it a try this year. If I remember right he said to use scrap bacon if you could find it. Anybody else make their venison hamburger this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thiem Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Hey Lumpy,When we grind we add pork fat. The ratio gets a little mixed up most of the time. But remember, anything that gets cooked out in the fish house always tastes better. I don't know why but it just does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyes' Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Lumpy, We add about 15% bacon to our burger... It is the best burger around!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt24 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My brother made some last year out of bacon ends. Not sure the ratio but i could ask him. There are dang good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I use around 15% beef suet. The beacon sounds interesting though. I'll have to give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-Al Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I'm with ST on this one, except maybe just a little less. I use about 10% beef suet. Good to get to know a butcher to get good "fat". The "kidney fat" I believe is the best. The beef suet you see in grocery stores may only be bird food quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikerliker Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I had some made last year at Schmidts meat market in Nicollet. They use a beef mixture I think 20 percent. They taste great and I'm told hold thier taste longer than when mixed with pork. I hear pork can get an off taste if it goes beyond a few months without being consumed.~piker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
