re: DIY ground meat w/ Venison

I add sriracha salt pepper to straight ground venison and don't overcook on grill and it's great - it's not better than venison cut with something fatty but it's def more clean/healthy

I make 2 kinds, straight ground venison and then I'll grind about 1/3 of mine with pork or beef fat. I prefer to use bacon now also, I just find whatever is cheap or on sale and do something like 10-20% bacon. I've picked up far from the grocery store, some places will do it and some won't you have to call the stores and ask for the meat dept. I've found they give you way more than you usually need and it's just easier to buy something.

You want to grind it twice, one through the thicker grind then send it through again the smaller cut. That's a pain but well well worth it.
