When you make hamburger meat out of deer meat, what % do you use?
It's been a while since I ground any, but it seems like it was 50% deer meat and 50% beef fat. I know that seems like alot of beef fat but I think that is how we used to do it.
The final product was fairly lean when cooking.
Thanks, James

When we make ground deer for our customers, most get 80% venison and 20% beef fat. Some get 90/10, and a few get 70/30.

If you mix bacon use those big boxes of bacon ends they sell in the cheap section. Easier on the wallet than regular bacon.

I'm glad I asked, so it sounds like 80/20 mix is what I need to use for beef fat.
Follow up question is that by "weight" or "volume" once it's ground up?
Where are you buying the "big boxes" of bacon ends......Sam's?
Bacon sounds interesting never thought of that.

Measure the 80/20 based on weight.

I usually grind mine 90/10 using venison and beef fat. You can get all the beef fat you want at most grocery stores that do some of their own butchering. Just ask them a day or 2 in advance and they will hold it for you. I just tell them approx how many lbs I need and they wrap ip up in plastic just like any other cut of meat but cost is $0.00. I'm not a fan of the bacon/venison deal. If you plan on just making hamburgers, then fine. But we use the ground venison for everything from chili, to spaghetti, lasagna, enchiladas, etc, etc. Anything you normally use ground beef for we substitute with ground venison. If I want bacon for a specific meal (like making burgers), I just add it in when I'm ready for it. And x3 on the bacon ends. Much cheaper if you aren't looking for slices.

Do the same as Scott1- I get beef trimmings (what they trim off the carcasses before cutting into customer portions) from a butcher friend of mine. Mix 2.5# of trimmings with 12.5# of lean deer to make a mix about 85% lean / 15% fat. Use about the same ratio when I make wild hog sausage (get pork trimmings from same friend), but use 3# trimmings to 12# pork. Mix the meat, then add the spices I want.

I did an 83/17 mix last year and it was a little too much fat for me. Im a fan of the 90/10.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

I've never had any complaints on my recipe. When grilling you'll lose a lot of the fat, so the 25% bacon works really well.
I've also mixed seasoning salt, black pepper and worchestershire sauce in the meat before cooking. A pack of Lipton's French Onion Dip mix makes some tasty burgers too.
