Description
Expertly created for enthusiasts who take pleasure in crafting their own culinary delights, our Backwoods® Bacon Seasoning Cures are precisely what you need to transform your favorite meats into flavorful bacon. Crafted with a fusion of top-grade spices, our Venison Bacon seasoning provides all you need to make smoky, savory bacon from any ground meat. From wild game to domestic meats, our unique blends add that extra flavorful touch.
To prepare, we recommend using a mixture of 80% lean ground meat and 20% ground pork for best flavor. Dissolve the seasoning in water, mixing thoroughly with the meat until tacky. Line a loaf pan or 2" cake pan with disposable cooking sheets. Pack seasoned meat firmly, to avoid air pockets, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the bacon from refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking or smoking. Then process in one of the following ways:
- Smoker: smoke until internal temperature reaches 165°F (Follow manufacturer's directions that came with your smoker).
- Oven: preheat oven to 200°F. Place bacon directly on the oven rack. Use a cookie sheet to catch drippings. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F
TIP: After cooling place bacon in freezer for 20 minutes. Cold meat will slice more easily.
