Best Venison Or Beef Bologna Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE BOLOGNA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer, combine all of the ingredients until smooth. Transfer the bowl to the freezer for 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Remove the bowl of meat from the freezer and divide the mixture in half. Using damp hands, form each half into a log. Compress it tightly as you work. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and use twist-ties to secure the ends tightly. Refrigerate flat for 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300° F / 150° C / gas mark 2.
• Remove plastic wrap from meat and carefully transfer both logs to a baking rack propped over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Reduce heat to 250° F / 125° C / gas mark 1 and cook an additional 2 to 2½ hours to an internal temperature of 160° F. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate up to 3 days. May be frozen for longer storage.

DEER BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Stir together the curing mixture, sugar, MSG, mace, mustard, ground pepper, pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Sprinkle over venison in a large mixing tub. Mix the spices into the meat, then pour in the liquid smoke. Mix together by hand for several minutes until very well combined. Place into a non-reactive (glass or plastic) container, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Prepare casings according to note below, allow to soak overnight.
• To stuff, cut off a 2-foot (60-centimeter) piece of casing, pinch out the water, and tie a knot at one end. Using a sausage stuffer or large funnel, fill the casing to within 4 inches of the end. Tie the open end close to the meat, so that the bologna is firm. Tie the two ends together to form a circle. Repeat with remaining casings and bologna.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Bake the bologna in preheated oven until they reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 2 hours. Once cooked, allow to cool, and refrigerate until cold. The bologna may be kept tightly wrapped in the freezer. To serve, cut through the casing lengthwise, then slice the bologna into thin slices. Peel the casing off of the bologna slices and discard before eating.
