Title: Dead Deer Bacon
Post by: smokendevo on November 03, 2012, 01:24:23 PM

So I had 4 lbs. of dead deer and 6 lbs. of dead pig and 1 lbs. of back fat. It went like this.

Dead deer meets dead pig

Let them do a hand shake and get down to making bacon. To this I added my maple bacon mix and 850 ML. of maple syrup. Should be good a maple flavored.

Into three cake pans and into the fridge over night.

Next morning I flopped them onto the racks, came out real easy because I sprayed the pans with PAM. After they where in the racks I dusted them with some magic dust.

Frying some up, very little grease. Some people warned me not to add the pork fat as it's to much fat..........seems I should have added more.

And yes the taste test was WOW this is good dead deer.

Time to vac pack and weigh it out into 1 lbs. packages. I used the to-go lids shiny side up to support the bacon. Makes for easy packaging into the vac. bags.
