How to Make Venison Bologna

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs ground venison, 1 lb pork shoulder (ground), 2 cups finely chopped onion, 1 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground sage, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Gently mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow flavors to meld.
  3. The next day, whisk together 1 tablespoon liquid smoke and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  4. Add the liquid smoke and oil mixture to the venison mixture. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  5. Pack the mixture tightly into 9-10 empty pringle cans or similar sized tubular cans, leaving 1/2 inch of space at the top of each can.
  6. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 4 hours.
  7. Carefully remove cans from the oven. Let the bologna cool slightly in the cans before draining any excess liquid.
  8. Once cool enough to handle, remove bologna from cans. Wrap tightly in several layers of freezer paper.
  9. Freeze for at least 24 hours before slicing and enjoying.
