Scorching Venison Sausage Po-Boys: What To Do With All That Deer Meat

Right here in South Louisiana, we will flip something right into a po-boy. One in all my favourite sandwiches to make is the new sausage po-boy.  However like most hunters, I’m usually confronted with the query, “What am I going to do with all this deer meat?”  So, I began occupied with methods to make use of venison that went past the same old recipes, and that’s when it hit me – why not take that basic scorching sausage po-boy idea and make it with venison?

Bounce on to the recipe!

The thought got here to me whereas grinding some deer meat for sausage. As a substitute of following the normal scorching sausage po-boy recipe, I made a decision to experiment with deer sausage patties. However the actual breakthrough got here after I changed the cooking oil with Louisiana Scorching Sauce on the griddle. That straightforward change made all of the distinction

The recipe itself is simple:

• Deer sausage patties (skinny)
• Louisiana Scorching Sauce
• Po-boy bread or French bread
• Mayonnaise
• Yellow mustard
• White American cheese
• Non-compulsory: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles

Instructions

Warmth your griddle to medium-high. As a substitute of oil, coat the cooking floor with Louisiana Scorching Sauce. Place your deer sausage patties straight on the new sauce and depart them on till they develop a well-done crust.

Whereas the meat cooks, reduce your French bread into 6-inch sections and cut up them. Unfold mayonnaise on each side of the bread. When the patties are performed, stack them on the bread and prime with white American cheese. I maintain mine easy, with simply meat and cheese. I’ve had it with shredded lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes and returned to the easy stacked meat and cheese sandwich.

I take advantage of white American cheese as a result of that works finest on conventional scorching sausage po-boys, however provolone is a good different if that’s what you will have available. Right here’s an additional step that I like so as to add earlier than ending up: after constructing the sandwich, put it again on the griddle and press it down like a panini. The bread will get crispy, and the cheese melts utterly into the meat.

This isn’t a sophisticated recipe, nevertheless it makes good use of your venison whereas supplying you with a style of a scrumptious scorching sausage po-boy.

Give it a strive the subsequent time you need one thing completely different to do together with your deer meat.
