Venison Summer Sausage Recipe

Summer sausage is tasty stuff. And this peppery venison summer sausage recipe is really tasty! The extra little bit of coarse ground black pepper adds a nice bite of heat to the sausage.

Peppery Summer Sausage

• 2-1/2 pounds fatty ground beef
• 2-1/2 pounds ground venison
• 3 tablespoons Morton's Quick Tender Cure
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 3 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper

Combine the beef, venison and the tender quick. Mix thoroughly by hand for five minutes. Refrigerate the meat for three days, mixing twice daily.

Place a pan of water in the oven to keep the sausage moist as it cooks. If your oven won't go down to 175F, set it at the lowest setting and check the internal temperature of the meat often. Place an oven proof meat thermometer into the center of one of the sausages for easy checking.
