​

A friend of ours made the comment about how he had so much Venison meat from a recent hunting trip, so I texted Dawn and asked if it'd be possible to make deer meat meatballs. Once she found time in her oh so busy day to respond and say yes ... the deer meatball sub came to life. That night she found an actual venison meatball recipe that included ............ BACON!!!!!!​

​

​

​

Before the meat made it to our house I cooked up a full pack of bacon (a few pieces may not have made it to the meatballs).​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Once the meat arrived it was go time. The recipe calls for 1 pound, but I wanted to go big so we doubled everything.​

​

​

​

​

​

While the guys made the meatballs, Dawn made some homemade marinara sauce.​

​

​

​

​

​

We made 26 jumbo balls with the doubled recipe.​

​

​

​

​

​

I used my grill pans hoping it'd keep the balls from sticking so much (with the help of Pam). For the most part it worked.​

​

​

​

​

​

And they're ready to eat.​

​

​

​

​

​

The subs assembled and about to go in the oven to melt together.​

​

​

​

​

​

The money shot (note the pen in the background for a size comparison). These were by far the greatest meatball subs I've ever eaten in my life.​

Are you making meatballs out of brain?

Are you making meatballs out of brain?

Well, I'm using ground chuck, ground pork and Italian sausage, but
the Zombie Minions have their own take on the recipe, I'm afraid......:roll:

 

[Oldyote]

Ok

This is farking great. :clap2:

 

[bigabyte]

N8, I hope you got the second edition of that book. They corrected a lot of stuff. The first edition completely left out a lot of the stuff on cadavers. Don't ask how I know.

I'm going to cook for this tomorrow....having some trouble with ideas. I'll come up with something, though. Pretty stiff competition so far...

I am right there with you. It seems everything I was kind of thinking about has already been done. This is gonna be tough to come up with something original.
