Homemade Bacon and Venison Sausage
Put Your Venison Harvest to Work with Jones Dry Aged Bacon
Jones Dry Aged Bacon is the secret ingredient that makes this venison sausage worth making. Ground venison is lean by nature, so the bacon gets finely chopped and mixed in to add fat, flavor, and the right texture. A blend of Hungarian paprika, allspice, nutmeg, onion powder, and black pepper rounds out the seasoning. Stuff into hog casings, twist into 6-inch links, and grill or cook on the stovetop until done. Makes 20 links and uses a full package of Jones Dry Aged Bacon to do it right.
