Half Time Dutch Oven Venison | |

A casserole may be used, but best results will be achieved using a heavy cast iron dutch oven. In a frying pan, cook bacon and set aside. Brown venison in bacon drippings with salt & pepper. Layer meat, mushrooms and onions in a lightly greased dutch oven. Crumble bacon and spread undiluted mushroom soup on top. Add wine (or water) to frying pan and simmer a few minutes, scraping the pan with a fork. Pour over all, cover, and place in a 350 ° oven just before opening kick off. Remove cover at the end of first quarter. Meal will be ready for halftime. Serve with noodles and pepper or mint jelly.

recipe is simple.

Venison Salami | |
4 pounds venison
|
Mix
well in bowl and chill for 24 hours. After chilling, divide into quarters, shape
and roll into "logs" about eight inches long, place each log on a piece of 12x18
inch nylon netting.** Roll up tightly and tie each one with string. Place logs
on rack on top of a cookie sheet (spray rack with "Pam" to make clean-up
easier). Bake in a 225 degree oven for about 4 hours. Remove logs from oven and
pat with paper towels to remove excess fat and oil. After 15 minutes remove
netting slowly and allow venison salami rolls to cool. Wrap first in plastic
wrap and then in foil. Since there are no preservatives in this recipe, the
salami will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator or six months or more in
the freezer. Make plenty because once your hunting buddies get a taste of this, they're liable to take your rifle away and hand you an apron. *The curing salt can be obtained from butcher shops or from Morton Salt Co. Dept.SM, Box 355, Argo IL. 60501 **Nylon netting is sold by the yard at most stores where fabric is sold. Buy the least expensive type of netting with large holes. |

Cover the bottom of fry pan with Crisco and heat to 375-400 degrees. Brown on one side and then turn and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, depending on steak thickness.

Venison Scrapple | |
|
All
quantities are in proportion so it can be multiplied or divided, depending upon
the amount of available meat. Trim fat from venison trimmings, place them in a pot, cover with water and cook until meat separates from the bones (about 30 minutes in a pressure cooker). Save broth. Separate meat from bones and chop in a food processor. Meanwhile, to two cups broth, add corn meal, rolled oates and buckwheat flour. Mix thoroughly so there are no lumps. Bring meat in remaining broth to a boil. Add lard, cereal and broth mixture and cook until it has the consistency of thick mush. Stir in salt, pepper and spices (jalapeno juice is brine from the preserved jalapeno peppers and a little goes a long way). Remove from heat and pour into muffin tins using cupcake liners. The finished product can be stored frozen for 6 months or so. Properly made, venison scrapple can be thawed and sliced easily for frying with little crumbling. |
