Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh deer meat. If using frozen meat, thaw it completely before grinding.
  • Use a meat grinder with a fine-grind plate to get a smooth sausage consistency.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can also finely chop the deer meat by hand.
  • Be sure to mix the seasonings evenly throughout the ground meat.
  • If you like a spicy sausage, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a milder sausage, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • If you don't have any jalapenos on hand, you can substitute another type of chili pepper, such as serrano peppers or habanero peppers.
  • Be sure to wear gloves when handling chili peppers, as they can irritate your skin.
  • If you don't have any cheddar cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as mozzarella cheese or pepper jack cheese.
  • Be sure to grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the sausage.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover deer meat and make a delicious and versatile sausage. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can be used in a variety of recipes, such as sausage and peppers, sausage gravy, and sausage soup.
