I've made this one from the WD Site

It was pretty good, if I do say so myself. Served with saltines and smoked cheddar cheese.

My favorite spreadable is Bierwurst.

Here is one that I found in a venison sausage book I have.  Haven't made this one yet, but you can check out the recipe and see if you like it.  You can sub beef liver for venison liver.

Mettwurst Venison Sausage

2 pounds venison liver

3 pounds pork butt cubed

1 level tbsp. plus 2 level tsp. Morton Tender Quick

1 tbsp. salt

3 tsp white pepper

She said they smoked the stuff she remembers.. But I'll try this it can't be bad.. Right !  After all it's meaty deliciousness and it doesn't have that many ingredients and is a short process time..

  Or You could skip the simmering and just smoke it until it reaches the right internal.  It is just about personal preference.  It has the tenderquick for a nice smoke.  Reinhard

[h1]Mettwurst - Braunschweiger[/h1]
German spreadable sausage.

Meats	Metric	US
beef	300 g	0.66 lb.
pork butt	300 g	0.66 lb.
bacon	400 g	0.88 lb.

[h2]Ingredients per 1000g (1 kg) of meat[/h2]

salt	23 g	4 tsp.
Cure #1	2.5 g	½ tsp.
dextrose (glucose), 0.2%	2.0 g	⅓ tsp.
pepper	2.0 g	1 tsp.
paprika	2.0 g	1 tsp.
mace	0.5 g	⅓ tsp.
juniper extract*	1.0 g	⅓ tsp.
T-SPX culture	0.12 g	use scale

[h2]Instructions[/h2]

1. Grind all meats through ⅛” (3 mm) plate. Re-freeze meats and grind again. You may grind once and then emulsify in the food processor without adding water.
2. Add all ingredients, starter culture included, during this step.
3. Stuff firmly into 40-60 mm beef middles or fibrous casings. Form 8-10” (20-25 cm) links.
4. Ferment for 48 hours at 18º C (64º F), 75% humidity.
5. Apply cold smoke for 12 hours at 18º C (64º F).
6. Store in a refrigerator

[h2]Notes[/h2]
Cold smoking is drying with smoke and it is not a continuous process. Smoke is applied for about one hour, then the sausage “rests” for one hour. The cycle is repeated again and again.

* insert 20 g of crushed juniper berries into 120 ml (½ cup) vodka or cognac and leave in a closed jar for 2-3 days. Filter the liquid from berries.
