Deer burger mixed with salt pork

Anyone ever use salt pork to mix with venison for burgers? I was thinking of doing a 90/10 with it to add some fat.

We used to put it in beans. Wash the salt of it and pat it dry.

I'd go 80/30.

Priceless......

. Bill. Do you mean 80# deer to 30# salt pork? 🤔

Yes, depending on the use. 'The 90/10 would be great for some dishes, but the question was about burgers. I'd go all venison for chili or spaghetti sauce,

That’s about a 73% / 27% mix. Which is about what you get with ground beef. But the salt pork I think would add a different flavor to the mix. Have not used salt pork but did make some deer burger using pork trimmings when I realized I was out of beef trimmings. Already had the deer meat thawed and could not find a quick source for beef trim. Turned out good.

Bacon ends.

I'd just use boston but or pork trimmings.

Bingo. Pork butt for me.

I have used salt pork, and it was pretty good. My favorite is Brisket trimmings. I save brisket fat trimmings all year to use in my venison.

I catch brisket on sale and use them to mix with my venison. I use about 15 lb brisket to 25-30 lb of venison. If your looking for bacon flavor, I would use bacon ends and pieces
