Corn Bear

[tim3500]

Well it's been a few years since I've taken a Bear and with the bush full of them I figured I would try something different than calling them pepperoni .
How about Corn Bear recipe does anyone have any to share. Also sausage that doesn't need a smoker would really appreciate any ideas there too I just ordered a grinder.

Like recipes that have corn and bear in them?

some ideas:
any casserole that uses a can of corn, mix with ground or stewing bear meat
slow cook the bear, make tacos and serve corn as a topping. Corn tortillas
or make a bear burrito with corn, rice, cilantro
fresh baked corn bread with some bear stew on the side
Put corn in the stew
make sausages and then make bear corn dogs
polenta goes good with anything
bear pot pie. I like the premixed frozen veggies and puff pastry. Easy and fast to make
Bear empanadas with corn inside or served on the side

i don’t have any sausage recipes yet, will probably buy the premixed bags from stuffers and start with that.

I would just like to add that cooking corned anything, I've been doing a lot of beef briskets lately, is really easy if you use a sous vide cooker. I like the flavors of the corned beef from sous vide way better than the flavors from simmering or pressure cooking, not that I dislike simmered or pressure cooked, and it has a better texture IMO. I've been doing the points for about 3 hours less than the flats and then finishing them on the Traeger with hickory, faux pastrami! I just put a venison roast in a dry brine to be finished in about 10 days, I'll report back when it is cooked. I haven't decided whether to smoke it or not.

I really wanted to corn some mulie this year, definetly interested in bear as well...would like to hear some personal experiences.

As for non smoked sausage...my favorite from last couple years were brats 50/50 pork butt. Turned out so well and the heavy pork mix makes it so people that don't typically enjoy bear meat like them as well.

Rock this! Even people I know that turn their nose up at bear meat eat this. Some corn tortillas, salsa verde and home made pico... fagedaboutit

I need to get another bear this spring to try this. My freezer is damn near empty!

Last spring was my first bear. I fed so many people who had never eaten bear meat - it was a HUGE hit!

I usually corn the tougher cuts like the neck. Keep the muscle whole and slice thin against the grain when done. Goes great with any charcuterie and a Gold Hill Pinot or Dhalwinnie.

How about making rouladen.
Burger filled cornbread, and salsa.

You know, I have never been big on canning meat. But canned bear meat is incredible. Open a jar, the smell alone is delicious, dump it in a pot, heat up, use in tacos or stew, super easy ready-at-hand weekend meal. Tender, safe, delicious! Easy to make as well... My next bear I will can a lot more of it, started as an experiment this year and I am addicted!

Whats your plan? marinade ? brine? slowcooker?

[tigrr]

A corned brisket or neck meat is great. I just can't eat it any more. I have to cook out all the grease and flavor out for my tummy.
I make a lot of sausage with many different spice recipe's. Most are on here somewhere.
