I would like to make some venison bacon but I don't have a smoker. Anybody have a recipe or know how to use a oven to cook the venison bacon in instead of a smoker?

Thanks KeithC. That's what I was planning to do 50/50 mix. I am not sure on how long to bake in the oven and what temp to bake at and how much liquid smoke for a 25# batch. I was thinking the bacon internal temp would be done when it reaches 165 degrees. Then cool and slice.

You're welcome.
Cook the venison bacon at 185F until it reaches at least 160F in the center, which will kill anything that's in the pork. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer. How long to cook depends on how well the oven works and how big the loaves of meat are. It will probably take over an hour at 185F. Once it's done cut into slices, package and freeze it.
When you want to eat the venison bacon, defrost it and fry it in a pan, in lard, until it's crispy, flipping it as needed.

Keith Excellent and thank you again sir. Ground the venison and pork and pork fat, Added the bacon cure and seasoning last weekend, put it in pans and refrigerated a couple days. Cooking in the oven today and smells great. I went on the liquid smoke manufacturer website and they suggest adding 1/2 oz. per 2 pounds of ground burger. So I did that for 12 1/2 pounds added 3 1/2 oz. of liquid smoke. I will let you know how I think it taste after it cools and refrigerate and slice. Thank you again for your Valuable advice KeithC.

Is this ruining good bacon and good venison by mixing the two?

I had some that was made out of moose and I did not care for it. I like moose, but making it into bacon was a no for me. It reminded me of that ground jerky with a funny taste. I once had ground elk with ground bacon mixed in, there was nothing good about it.

Is there some kind of a press you put the meat in?
