Best burgers I've ever had were deer mixed with bacon fat. I'm not sure of the ratio but something like 80/20 would prolly be close.

I mean, that's the obvious answer but I don't cook with it often and am worried about it being too gamy. Boyfriend shot 2 back in the winter and has since moved to a different state so I have a freezer full of processed meat to use.

Spaghetti actually sounds great. I LOVE tamales and would like to attempt them but no idea what I'm doing there. Anyone have a favorite recipe?

Local processor Hattons meats makes a killer bacon burger. It makes for the best deer burger I've ever had.

Anything in a sauce like spaghetti, chili, tacos whatever shouldn't be very gamey. Venison is not overtly gamey, at least to me. It is lean and most processors add some beef or pork fat to it so that will help with the dryness. I'd just sub it for whatever you would use beef for and see how you like it.

I can't remember the name of the processor, but it was near Columbia, LA.

I was so sad to open that last pack of it. We don't have the camp up there anymore.

I grind my own using 40% pork. I get my pork from Boston Butts and simply debone them for grinding, then add to the ground venison. I prefer ground venison 10/1 over ground beef, 100/1 when beef is $5/ pound.

I've got a spare $100 bill so led away for five Illinois doe tags in November that will be used for ground meat. I even grind the backstraps these days.

Mix with 1/3 per weight of raw bacon, make meatballs. Seriously good.

Mamitas tamales in NOLA will make them with venison if you provide the meat.

Use it in the place of ground beef for anything. I would suggest adding a little fat if your going to make hamburgers.
