Somebody was posting here about ground bacon, that got my attention!
Researched “Curley’s Ground Bacon” from Curley’s Sausage Kitchen
Thought I would give it a try, I just got a nice medium size mule deer buck so I an going to use most of him to try this ground bacon out.
Here is the instructions - I bought 2 packages, going a little heavy on the seasoning, one seasoning pack per 22.5lbs meat.
I only put 11 lbs. of fat in this, we'll see how it turns out, here is a pic after the first grind.
I added the seasoning and then ground it once more through.
Found an old pecan pie box to mold the grind into
Use freezer paper to line the box
Let these sit overnight - garage temp: 38F
I was kind of worried I would have a hard time getting them out of the freezer paper, I had to wrap the bottom with 2" masking tape to keep the shape.
It turned out better than I thought.
I sprayed the racks with cooking spray but I was worried it would still stick on the grates so I later put foil down
More to come
