any one tried to make Bologna?

Mainegg

I found this link and looks like it might be good. I might eat this since I would know what was in there :evil:

or just regular not venison
Homemade Bologna
3 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons curing salt
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, curing salt, water, garlic powder, onion powder and liquid smoke using your hands. Divide in half, and form each half into a roll. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Unwrap the beef rolls, and place them on a greased baking sheet or roasting pan.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, turning the meat over after 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Slice, and eat on sandwiches.

I don't think I want to make my own bologna, I kinda like not knowing what goes into it

Celtic Wolf

Dayum, now Richard will be totin' homemade bologna around...

Rascal

I dunno... Why would one eat that stuff?? With malice toward none....

Hoss

Cause it's YUMMEE!

Hoss

I thinks me may give it a try.

Rascal

OK...

Mainegg

I am with you Rascel. I really think the stuff is gross LOL but I think this might be more like summer sausage?? in texture and flavor?? and if it was called anything but BOLOGNA I would try it LOL

Bordello

I like it fried on a sandwich but it must have some char on it.

Cheers,
Bordello

Mainegg

aww that may be but it would have to be black. we were at a restaurant in TN when we went to the ford super nationals a few years ago and I got a fried bologna sandwich. one bite. that was all i could do... it was just a slab of bologna and mustard on wonderbread. I always try to try local stuff and everyone said oh fried bologna sandwich....

Celtic Wolf

Do you eat Hot Dogs?

Fidel

I have my sights set on harvesting (politically correct term) at least a half dozen deer over the next couple months, so I have bookmarked this recipe.

With any luck I'll have venison coming out of my ears my mid-December.

Mainegg

NOPE I do not eat hot dogs LOL well maybe once a year maybe I will have the local red hot dogs with tons of onions and a grilled New England bun. but the regular ones .....they taste like bologna..... and look like baby bolognas...... :(

Celtic Wolf

Could that be because they ARE baby bologna...

I posted a thread almost a year ago about making venison bologna, but it didn't get much play........ I'm going to switch gears from bacon making to bologna and jerky making soon in anticipation of our deer season here. This bologna is made with venison and trimmed pork loin and I use the venison kits that Hi-Mountain sells that will do 30#. Mark

Mainegg

How was it Mark? is it like bologna or more like a summer sausage? did you grind it really fine or like you do for regular sausage? any pics of it sliced?? I think I would drop the liquid smoke using the egg. I can't stand that stuff

Weekend Warrior

It's very good. It's more like a spicy, lean bologna that summer sausage; almost no fat in it. Yes, it is ground very fine and we mostly eat it as a snack with crackers and cheese or just plain. It can easily be made with ground beef instead of venison, but it MUST be very lean cuts ground up.........not hamburger mixed in. Sorry Jul, no sliced pics. Mark

edit: Just FYI, the meat ratio is 1/3 trimmed pork loin to 2/3 trimmed beef, venison or other wild game and I usually make 15# at a time.

fishlessman

did you get the fine grain, any tricks. was thinking grinding it fine fine, adding a little water and beating it in a mixer might help, was a thought when trying to make a meatloaf that would thin slice the way i wanted.

Weekend Warrior

Hey fish, yeah, my grinder's small plate is 1/8". A couple of times through that and the meat is like a paste going into the casing.

Mainegg

See now I think I would like that! a little smoked cheese and some home made crackers...... nice dark ale...... I love fall

6 in one year begs some questions.

Same state or multiple? If same state you must be overrun with them!

How? Gun or bow or both? I bagged one with my car a couple years ago - darn near field dressed on the hoof!
:S

fishlessman

maybe the little useless plate that comes with the kitchenaide has a purpose afterall. might try that recipe with some added paprika for some dogs.

Rolling Egg

I think i'm with Sooner. I'd rather not know! Actually I seen a show on it before and it changed my wife for life :woohoo: :woohoo:

Our bag limit this year is 10 does and 2 bucks. One of the bucks must be 8 point or greater. There are deer everywhere, but they are not near the size of the corn fed Midwestern trophies I grew up hunting.

I am hunting a couple hundred acres in NE Georgia that have had no hunting pressure in over 3 years. Scrapes and rubs everywhere. Huge white oaks dropping bushels full of acorns.

I also hunt a few thousand acres of in-law family land in South Carolina. Bag limit there is a deer a day from Aug 15 Through Jan 1, but only certain days and weekends are either sex days until after the rut. Rut down here will begin about November 5th and run 3-4 weeks. Deer move like crazy down here. I just saw two does yesterday while fishing with my daughters.

I am planning to hunt bow and rifle seasons both in GA and in SC.

Mainegg

Holy cow! 12 deer for your limit??? Neil would be in hunting heaven LOL

Hoss

You are also invited to Mississippi!!!

Hoss
