Summer sausage...

[Terry Beeson]

I had some ground venison (with bacon) in the freezer that needed something done to it. My wife was talking to a patient about it and he suggested this recipe for summer sausage. I made some yesterday and MAN OH MAN is it good stuff!!!

You can "play around" with the spices a bit to get a flavor you want.

This will be a good snack in the deer stand while waiting for the kill shot to take effect...
