How to Make Ground Deer for Burgers

[@kmorris5124]

We do large batches of ground meat. We measure using solo cup that gives you the pound. No need to weigh each pack. We also vacuum pack the meat. We use to pack with freezer paper but switched for storage time. Both ways work for packaging.

My brother that’s deceased now always made deer salami and deer sausages. Some with cheese, some with cheese and jalepeno which is my favorite and plain salami. All is very good but he added pork to his to. His wife continues to do this along with turtle soup.

I grew up washing dishes in a dishpan in the sink. Then my first apartment I had a long sink like that but a one large single sink with a long drain board side. Had to use a pan then too. A long time before I had a sink I could fill with water.

[@vickisavage8929]

We had custom built wooden cabinets and drawers in our kitchen when I was growing up, but I remember the metal, enameled cabinets and drawers that our neighbors had. I thought they were wonderful.

Had the same sink growing up. Always used a dishpan. Did not have any stoppers in the sink. Dad made some and they worked, he could make anything.

I actually have what appears to be the same sink that came out of my grandparents house, the base was rusted out but the top was able to be refinished and is in our kitchen, my wife fell in love with it and wouldn’t let me turn it into a fish cleaning station. Thank you for sharing your story.

Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. Thank y'all for sharing looks like some wonderful ground deer. Have a blessed day.

Hello Danny and Wanda! I have the exact same sink! Mine was my mother in laws and was in their canning and butchering kitchen in the garage. We bought the place in 2012 and I wanted that sink in my kitchen. I use it everyday. We found our parts at Lowe’s. They only had two so we were very lucky. I kept my base and love it. Keeping that sink is a decision one will never regret.

[@KimAtHomesteadDaze]

I also use a dishpan!

[@forrestgump9576]

What a blessing! Have always wanted one too in my kitchen, someday!😄

[@texaschopper3091]

I like how you share your portion sizes. Part of the obesity problem now days is people don't know what a healthy portion size is. Thumbs up.

[@pecangrovems]

This is so true.

[@vickisavage8929]

Another part of the problem is the lack of understanding of what is healthy food - and choosing it.

WE WERE GIFTED A DEER THIS YEAR, MADE 18 POUNDS OF HAMBURGER AND 3 POUNDS OF BACK STRAP. YUM YUM I HAVE ONE OF THOSE SINKS AND LOVE IT

[@millielanning1690]

We have 2 of those old old sinks.. boy . They are wonderful!!!!

[@lindadykes4040]

That will make a good meat loaf too cause I made one out of my deer and pork. Yummy.God Bless your day. Much love 💟

[@barrypetejr5655]

Growing up at the cabin I was the half horse motor running the grinder🤣🤣 Worst thing I ever ground was horse radish.....my nasal passages and tear ducts were definitely cleaned out after that 🤣

[@rikwen96]

Good morning Mr. Danny and Ms. Wanda. Your sink looks just like the one in my grandmother's house. I had a sink that I couldn't find a stopper. What I ended up doing was I found a silicone measuring cup that collapses. Once it was open it would fit in the sink opening and keep the water from running out. It also couldn't be knocked out while you were washing. I will ask some of my cousins that do construction and see if they are aware of any old stoppers for old sinks.

[@paularizzo5217]

That second grind sure looks more appetizing. I'm enjoying your videos!

[@millielanning1690]

Danny would it help if you use some good fitting vinyl gloves to keep the cold off your hands

[@pecangrovems]

It's very hard to find gloves to fit my big hands.

[@tammiestafford3471]

It looks just like regular hambergermeat. God bless and have a wonderful blessed day

[@forrestgump9576]

Good morning Danny, Wanda and everyone!🌄😊 That sink is gorgeous! Have always wanted a double washboard sink for my kitchen. Used to be able to get them for next to nothing. Now, people are charging several hundred dollars them. There is a lady in the Laurel Mississippi that restores them if you ever think about needing to. We had the same issue with finding a stopper that worked for our sink. It finally dawned on me, why not use the old fashioned rubber stopper with the metal ring on top, for down in the smaller opening? They still sell them at Ace Hardware, True Value Hardware and Hardware Hank. It works! Granite Ware still makes those dish pans. They work nice for mixing large batches up. And you can hang it up on the wall to store it. God bless everyone🥰 Edit: An idea for keeping plants warm in your outdoor raised beds. You'll need to put hoops made with pex tubing or 1/2" pvc pipe, or the hoops made for your raised beds. You could do this without them, that just adds an extra layer of protection from the cold by raising the cover up off the plants. Then before the sun goes down, lay bricks amongst the plants that have been heating up sitting on top of your wood stove. Same theory as the old time foot warmers for in bed. Then when you cover the plants, it holds the heat in. Up here in MN when I have to cover my raised beds, I use a double layer of a plastic tarp and a blanket.

[@forrestgump9576]

Also forgot to suggest to Danny when working with cold meat, I use two latex free nitrile gloves on each hand. Helps keep them warmer when handling the meat😊

[@pattybrumbaugh3758]

Wanda is correct. It has a rubber stopper. My parents had that type for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately after my parents passed, the new owners burnt the house down. They only wanted land.

[@tammiestafford3471]

Good morning Mrs Wanda and Mr Danny ❤

[@nancytharp8213]

I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏝 🏖

[@tambrasmith4199]

I have my Nannie’s dish pan… it has little bitty holes in it … so I have sum of my seeds in it … I remember her using it

[@BrendaLeigh1630]

Good morning y’all. 🦌

[@pecangrovems]

Good morning!

Good morning!

[@pecangrovems]

Good morning!

[@terryl.9302]

Think my uncles added Salt & a few spices like onion garlic pepper granules on occasion before grinding. Cevapcici type mixes popular too. *An inexpensive butter knife that has a curved end is my favorite kitchen tool. -- 💌🍒

[@millielanning1690]

Good morning Danny and Wanda...

[@pecangrovems]

Morning

[@sueyates3555]

Good morning Danny and Wanda. thanks for sharing this video. Enjoy your dear burgers. How blessed you are to be able to do this. I absolutely love that sink. I wished I had one because I do my own dishes. I don’t believe in a dishwasher because I am the dishwasher and that would be so helpful instead of using a draining board that gets all yucky after a while.

[@vickisavage8929]

I grew up washing dishes by hand in a double sink, and we washed the drain board daily. Dad was absolutely fanatical about cleanliness in the kitchen because he had lived through the consequences of lack of sanitation and learned the hard way that it could not be compromised.

[@winnonadc2665]

Putting more food in the FREEZER !!

[@rhondabish2186]

To protect the sink, put a towel under the dishpan.

[@not1moreinch332]

We always mixed our deer burner with beef fat. I've never tried it with pork. Maybe I'll try it next time

[@franpaterno486]

Great video thank you and Wanda. I’ve never had deer but I would like to try it, as hamburgers.

[@bluewolf4915]

Wondering if a garbage disposer plug would work in that sink? 🤔

[@cherylb.9766]

Don't forget you're weighing the wrapping paper and tape now to

[@millielanning1690]

Danny your hands look cold!!!

[@rhondabish2186]

I have a pair of gloves with the fingertips cut off. Could that help? At least most of your hand would be warmer. Meat looks good.

[@Frankie_902]

Danny, THANK YOU for saying which Ole Plantation sausage mix you use. I was trying to order us some and was blown away by all the different #'s there were. I started to go ahead and order the #10 but then second guessed myself and decided I would just ask you about it and by chance you said which one you use in this video. Thank you again. I'm still confused as to which ones are which but I think I'll use the one you mentioned. 🤦😃

[@pecangrovems]

You’re welcome! That’s the one we use. It has the best flavor to us.

[@lelandshanks3590]

If yall like chili that meat mix makes fine chili.

[@sengelmohr]

Good morning :) Do you always mix your deer with pork? Guess I grew up mixing with beef but, that looks really good. 😋

[@michaelenglish8004]

Just a shower thought.., I wonder if playdough inside of a tube sock / Ziploc bag would work as a sink plug ? 🤷

[@vickisavage8929]

The last I remember, play dough was water soluble… not the best idea.

[@jeanniewright2554]

After you do the dishes, you take the dish water and put it on the plants in the kitchen garden. NO WASTE!!!

[@curtisking2962]

Good morning

[@jeand2139]

Both you and wanda need to get yourselve's some microwavable heating pads. I use mine all the time because I am poor and can't afford to heat the house. I heat mine for 1 1/2 minutes and it lasts for a long time. Definitely cheaper than electric heaters and it's portable where ever you go. Just hold it like you are holding a baby.

[@millielanning1690]

My sink is a single sided sink

[@mekay235]

👍👍💗💗💕💕

[@mtnwoodsy3738]

ALWAYS CALL IT VENISON.. THAT IS THE PROPER NAME. I GREW UP IN MICHIGAN, NOW I LIVE IN WV.. WHEN I SAY VENISON.. I GET A BLANK STARE.."NO.. THIS IS DEER MEAT" ARGHHHH. WE NEVER PUT AS MUCH PORK..NOT 1/2 AND 1/2 I STARTED THINKING ABOUT CHILI AS SOON AS DANNY STARTED TALKING.

[@millielanning1690]

Oh hidesight...!!!!
