80/20 Venison to Pork ratio
Ground through a medium plate, mixed with beer and seasoning/cure before running mix through the smallest grinder plate I have.
I used a Leggs seasoning kit this time, but added some jalapeño powder, an SPG bbq rub, and more garlic.
Smoked to 150°

How is this bacon? Just in the way that turkey bacon is “bacon”?
Looks like a good sausage!
Thought this group was knowledgeable enough to understand how this is marketed as a restructured “bacon” product. It’s just what it is called and every deer processor will market it and call it as such. I guess I was wrong…
I make my own pork belly bacon frequently. I’m well aware of what bacon is.
It’s a Scrapple. The mid-Atlantic coast is quite familiar. Fry it crispy & use a good mustard or a hot sauce.
Nice venison loaf.
Looks more like venison salami
Not Bacon but looks delicious
It identifies as bacon
I’m in the group of this ain’t bacon.
Awesome looking bacon. And as a hunter, if it was you who harvested the deer congratulations!!
Cut this guy some slack. Doesn’t matter if it’s not bacon. I’m sure it’s tasty.
Thats some pink gyro.
Looks more like spam
I thought this was linoleum
Is it actually purple?
I’ve heard people call this bacon before, and like, I mean, yeah the middle does look more like summer sausage, but you can’t get it to look like actual bacon at home.
If no one else here would eat it, I can proudly say I’d eat it on a biscuit with some hot sauce and honey
Homemade Spam.
Venison bologna?
This sub loves to gatekeep like they’re the preeminent experts on meat, smokers, thermodynamics, microbiology, semantics, etc.
It looks great; I don’t care what it’s called. Fuck the haters.
Would love to see what it looks like all crisped up.
Buck bacon should definitely have a different call sign, it’s not from the belly it’s more of a deer loaf and it’s never cured except for the msg thrown in.
Venison bacon is really good. You can be offended by the name but you are missing out if you don’t ever try it. It’s similar to frying up slices of summer sausage but with some different seasonings.
This is sausage, not bacon.
You could make a mean (fine-dining) spam musubi with that! Looks amazing.
Not gone lie, first glance I thought it was brake pads
Fucking hotdogs are more bacon than this monstrosity.
Venison Scrapple
Looks like summer sausage sliced the looong way. Sign me up.
Count me out…
Does it get crispy when you fry it? Or eat it as is? Looks pretty good, though as others say Mayhaps it’s more of a meatloaf than officially “bacon” but hey I don’t make the rules nor do I enforce them
Great Gyro meat!
People are really in their feelings in this thread.
