Local grocery has Wright Brand hickory smoked bacon for $4.99/lb. Probably should have stocked up as that s”is best commercial bacon ever and cheaper than my meat cost!

Would you add Bacon Taste Booster to Imitation Bacon Seasoning for a 25lb 50/50 meat block of Deer and pork shoulder?
Or
Just lower the meat block quantity by 5% to 10% then mix in Imitation Bacon Seasoning for 25 pounds?
Or
Is it Great the way it is?

Has anyone else used this seasoning? I’m processing deer now and would like to make some deer bacon using this product from Waltons that I purchased a few months ago.
I have made deer bacon twice before using another product but thought it was just a lightly glorified sausage and was lacking the bacon flavor. So both of these Waltons products are new to me and I know nothing about them, other than Jonathon had suggested the Bacon Taste Booster to my pork belly bacon. I won’t be making pork bacon for another month or two.

Denny O I used the imitation bacon seasoning on a batch and I was satisfied with the results using the directions as is.

bocephus Thank you for the response!
Do you think adding the bacon taste booster would benefit it or would the flavor bee too much?
What was your meat block and ratio?Denny O's-Smokey Bones

Denny O I have never used the taste booster, maybe someone else has an answer for that. I made it last year and just used the recommended amount for 10 lbs. Can’t remember the amount of Imitation Bacon Seasoning, but it was whatever the package showed for a 10 lb ratio. I had never made it before, so I know I just followed the directions.

bocephus Along with your deer, did you add pork? If so do you remember the %?
I find nothing in Waltons that states how to set the meat block.Denny O's-Smokey Bones

Denny O I did add pork, used trimmings. I believe I went 50/50. Trimmings were leaner than I would have liked so I went 50/50.

bocephus Thanks, I’ll grind and mix em up tomorrow. Think I’ll do 10 pounds straight and another 10 pounds with the flavor booster as a chaser. Just unsure at what % to add.

Ok, lost track on which half batch I added the bacon taste booster to, but I’d say in default, Add It!

Now, I’m not sure which I prefer, Cold after the cook or, lightly fried in the cast iron pan??
Originally I was looking to do 2 separate batches of 5 pounds each, butt, oh well.
Booster in the next batch for the win Alex, Please!

Denny O My brother likes to put a slice in a bloody mary. The way he makes them now, it is almost a meal.

Denny O I made some half venison half pork in November. Didn’t realize waltons carried the imitation seasoning in going to try that next fall. What I made turned out good.

@wvotrfan That looks awesome. Bet it’ll make great BLTs or fried egg sandwiches.
-
Denny O I found a box of something on the shelf of a store and followed videos I found on YouTube. Realized later that waltons had the seasoning and instructions on how to do. Did it on a whim should have researched more. I was impressed how it turned out. I will be using the waltons next time. Not an exact replacement for bacon but close enough for me
-
I think I am going to make some BLTs with venison bacon tonight now! Sadly my January plans for a doe don’t look good right now. We shall see though. If I do get one i will be making decent amount of venison/imitation bacon
