Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather up these ingredients to make your very own tasty deer pepperoni sticks:

3 pounds ground venison
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon mustard seed
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
½ cup ice-cold water
1 tablespoon curing salt (optional)
Collagen casings (for stuffing)

Instructions to Make It Happen

Now that you’ve got all your goodies gathered up, let’s break it down step by step:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison and ground pork. Mixing them together will create that great texture and flavor.
Add in all your spices: black pepper, mustard seed, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. If you’re using curing salt, sprinkle that in too. Get your hands in there and mix everything up real nice until it’s all combined.
Pour in the ice-cold water and mix again until the meat is sticky and well-blended. The water is going to help with the stuffing process.
Rinse your collagen casings in cold water and soak them for about 30 minutes. Then, using a sausage stuffer, fill the casings with that delicious meat mixture. Make sure not to overstuff to avoid bursting!
Once filled, twist the sausages into your preferred lengths and tie the ends off with some kitchen twine.
Set your smoker or grill to a low temperature, around 165°F. Smoke the sticks for about 4 to 6 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Once done, let them cool, then slice them up and get ready to enjoy them at your next gathering!

And there you have it! Now you can impress your friends and family with your homemade deer pepperoni sticks. They’ll be begging for your recipe! Enjoy!
