Homemade Venison Sausage Made Easy

On todays video we are going to be showing you how to make venison sausage. Making homemade sausage can be intimidating but it is quite easy to make. Today we are going to walk you through that process. We are using a combination of a white tail deer I harvested on a recent hunting trip and one of our farm raised pigs. If you do not have access to farm raised pigs... no problem. Just head to the store and buy a pork shoulder and you will be good to go. We will be using a sausage stuffer but if you don't have access to one you can use this recipe and just make patty sausage or use a stuffing attachment for your grinder. Our recipe is listed below as well as the equipment that we use to make it.
Leggs #10 seasoning
1 pound dry non fat milk powder
18 pounds venison
7 pounds pork fat
2 pounds of ice chips

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Liz and Clay 😉I started dabbling into sausage making this year and I’m becoming a bit obsessed learning as much I can about the craft! Cheers.

[@lizhayes7474]

It’s a good thing to learn how to do!

It's great to watch your family all pulling together making these sausages. In 4 days I'm out there for whitetails again with my son n friend for a week. Weather looks great @ only minus-12 with Snowbase. This year hopefully lots of homemade sausages deer / pork . 73+ 🍁Manitoba hunter expat 👍🇺🇸

Hope you have fun but that’s too cold for me!!! I’m original a southern girl so I like hot weather!

Damn that's a beautiful kitchen! Great video. Totally gonna sub

[@lizhayes7474]

Thank you. It’s been in a constant state of renovation the past few years. But I’ve just about got it like I want it. We refurbished all the wood from an old barn one of our neighbors had. It was a lot of work but I love the way they turned out.

[@columbiariverpussycat3769]

@@lizhayes7474 Well the hard work definitely is paying off. Very beautiful!

[@gerardogarvalena319]

Mixed with the kid sneezing and coughing over the food as they mix it all up 👍🏼

[@TheHYENA87]

I actually made up my first batch with bear fat and some bear meat added to elk... About a 70 - 30 ratio and it turned out great, what a great video. Thanks,

[@lizhayes7474]

Glad you liked it

[@jusnuts1443]

I grind my own deer burger. The colder it is, the better it grinds. I always double grind it to get the mix good. I use beef fat or washed fat back. Makes killer chili!

[@lizhayes7474]

Most of the time our meat is almost to the froze point. It does grind the best.

[@jusnuts1443]

Okay. I ready to go hunting. Only problem is that it isn't time yet! I go back home to VA around Thanksgiving. It's not Halloween yet! @@lizhayes7474

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Nice !

[@lizhayes7474]

Thanks!

[@dragoness_gaming766]

I'm hoping the young man grows a bit before next year 😂😂 Looks like he was hanging off the handle a few times! Beautifully made sausage!

[@lizhayes7474]

😂

[@airwolf61970]

You have a really cool grinder. A good idea would be to get a large plastic lug or a stainless meat container big enough to hold all your grind.

[@lizhayes7474]

We have some meat lugs now

[@johnnyg6380]

Yum 😁👍

[@lizhayes7474]

[@ericlind3569]

If your local grocery doesn’t have or is out of pork shoulder, could you just grab 3 packs of bacon to grind up as the pork portion of the 70/30??

[@lizhayes7474]

yes you could. It would just be more expensive than buying a pork shoulder.

[@robertschneider1977]

Sometimes you can find a pack of bacon ends and pieces that's a lot cheaper than regular bacon.

[@Lettusfarm]

I agree on casings. I can get 100ft of pig intestine for $2-$2.50. Never tried the dry ones you guys used. Mine always came in a little cup of brine water.

[@12ernie]

Great video! How many lbs. batch of sausage do you make, how much powdered milk did you use? Thanks!

[@jessejohnson_tx]

Great video! Do y’all have a formula you use to know how much (lbs) fat to buy depending on the weight of your venison?

[@lizhayes7474]

It’s 70/30. 70 % lean meat and 30% fat. But if your buying a pork shoulder than you can do it 50/50 because a pork shoulder has the fat and lean meat in it.

[@lisahedgecock7028]

Can you use lamb or mutton fat instead of pork? We homekill our own sheep so always have that available over pork

[@Nunya_Binness]

Looks delicious! What seasonings are you using?

[@lizhayes7474]

It’s called Leggs #10

[@windyloweryking1826]

I feel ya on the short girl problems! My second son is almost 6ft, he likes to put my things on shelves I can't reach! LOL

[@lizhayes7474]

[@terribletim9859]

Great stuff! I do it the same way

[@lizhayes7474]

Right on!

[@dinoquintana4319]

Always enjoy your videos but this was definitely not lizs video let's say she helped Clay with one of his videos.nice work keep the great videos comong

[@keithpattison6763]

Liz, that looks like an interesting process, all hands on deck. I have never tasted Venison, is it a bit like Lamb? Here in South Australia, it is rare, as to my knowledge, we have no wild deer and not many people farm them and they are not a native animal. If they were in the wild, we would not be able to hunt them, as virtually all land is privately owned and if you don´t know a land owner, you can´t hunt anymore.

[@lizhayes7474]

I’ve never had lamb so I couldn’t tell ya 🤷‍♀️ some people say that it has a strong gamey taste to it but I can’t tell that. Wild game is pretty much all we eat so it’s no different to me. It is dryer than beef so you have to cook it slower. Other than that it’s great.

[@ldg2655]

Can you use a whole milk powder? I usually keep that on hand.

[@lizhayes7474]

I used it this year and didn’t notice any difference.

[@kikimj8196]

So after you case them you could put them straight in the freezer you don't have to smoke them?

[@lizhayes7474]

No you don’t have to smoke them.

[@jadersaid50]

🇧🇷👍

[@jeffsanderson2737]

Looks like to me needs more water I’ll make sausage often

Awesome!

[@johnruiz4370]

I wish I had a neighbor that raised pigs.Youll diffently need a least a 20lb meat mixer.

[@lizhayes7474]

All we could find locally was a 15 pound one and it works pretty good.
