Trying something new - Mini Bear Loaves

link · Mar 26, 2016

I have been wanting to try Bears recipe for a while now so I thought I would give this a try. I did not have all of the ingredients Bear listed and I am not a fan of Fennel or Anise seed so I changed it a bit.

4 Pounds of Ground venison

Dry Mix:
Black Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
Three Onion Rub (Pampered Chef)

Bell Pepper Herb Rub (Pampered Chef)
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder

Tender Quick at 1 TBS per pound.

Wet and Dry mixed:

Sounds great, fry up some of those eggplant to go with it and you will be set.

My mini bear loaf went into the smoker today with a tube full of mesquite.

Now it will smoke and then rest, get sliced and packaged.

I cannot wait to try it.

Ok here it is all sliced up. This came out fantastic! My son loves it and my wife likes it as well. So I will be making more of this in the future.

This was such a hit with my son (and his girlfriend) that he said to me on Friday "the venison loaf is almost gone and I noticed you have not started a new batch yet". So a new batch was prepared and is now in the smoker.

Ready for the smoker:

So I sliced this up tonight and it is good. Made a few changes this time:

4 Pounds of Ground venison

Dry Mix:
Black Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (1 TBSP instead of 3/4 TBSP)
Three Onion Rub (Pampered Chef)

Basil Rub (Pampered Chef)
Italian Seasoning

Garlic Powder
Onion Powder

Tender Quick at 1 TBS per pound.

Going from 3/4 TBSP to 1 TBSP in the red pepper flakes made more of a difference in heat than I thought it would. Still very good but a bit hotter.

Thanks for looking
