  • 8. Spread on sliced mushrooms next.
  • 9. Mix soups together.
  • 10. Spread on top of the last layer. Do not add any water to this, as it makes its own juice.
  • 11. Run a fork down through casserole in about 4 different places, just so soups can seep down through it.

PEGGI'S VENISON JERKY



PEGGI'S VENISON JERKY image

I have been using this recipe for about 25 years now. I make about 60 pounds of it a year (starting weight). Everyone loves it. You can figure your dry weight on finished jerky is going to be a little over 1/3 of the weight you started out with. So, if you have 60# raw meat, you will end up with 20# + of dried jerky. The batch I...

1/2 Tbsp coarse black pepper
2 tsp seasoned salt (cookie's)if you use
another brand, use 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
instead of 1/2 tablespoon
2 tsp onion powder

(durkee's or tone's)
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
1 c soy sauce

1/2 tsp concentrated liquid smoke, if using
store bought (ready to use), use 3 t.
i get concentrated from amish store

Steps:

  • 1. FREEZE MEAT WHILE STILL IN THE ROAST STAGE (RAW). THEN REMOVE FROM FREEZER & LET SLIGHTLY THAW. SLICE ON SLICER OR BY HAND TO 1/8"TO 3/16" THICK AGAINST THE GRAIN. IF YOU SLICE WITH THE GRAIN, IT WILL BE TOUGH & STRINGY.
  • 2. MIX ALL OF MARINADE TOGETHER & PUT MEAT IN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I LOVE TO TASTE THE MEAT. IT IS CURED BY THEN. IT IS HEAVEN. DO NOT PACK MEAT TIGHT. I DO THIS PART ABOUT 7 PM & LEAVE OUT ON COUNTER FOR ABOUT THE NEXT 3 HOURS & WALK IN & STIR WITH WOODEN SPOON EVERY 30 MINUTES OR SO, TO MAKE SURE IT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. MARINADE IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT. DO NOT PACK TOO TIGHTLY.

  • 4. I HAVE A BIG SQUARE DEHYDRATOR WITH 10 TRAYS & FAN. WHEN ALL TRYS ARE IN, LEAVE DOOR AJAR ABOUT 3 INCHES FOR PROBABLY 3 HOURS UNTIL MOST MOISTURE LEAVES. THEN CLOSE DOOR & CONTINUE DEHYDRATING. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, IT WILL STAY WET ALOT LONGER. IT TAKES ABOUT 6 FULL HOURS . MEAT IS DONE WHEN IT IS DRY TO THE TOUCH & YOU BEND IT & IT DOESN'T FEEL RUBBERY, BUT DON'T OVER DRY, TO WHERE IT STARTS TURNING WHITE (SALT CONTENT). I THROW IT ALL IN A BIG STAINLESS STEEL BOWL & LEAVE OVERNIGHT TO FINISH AIR DRYING. THEN THE NEXT DAY, I VACUUM PACK IT IN 1/2# BAGS.
  • 5. I MIX 7 BATCHES OF THIS UP IN ONE BIG CONTAINER & ADD 14# MEAT. DO NOT PACK TIGHT.

1 yellow onion, chopped
1 pound ground venison
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon dried basil

Tips for Making Peggy's Layered Venison Casserole:

  • Use high-quality venison: The better the quality of the venison, the better the casserole will taste. If possible, use venison that has been freshly butchered and vacuum-sealed.
  • Trim the venison of fat and silver skin: This will help to reduce the gamey flavor of the venison.
  • Brown the venison in a skillet before adding it to the casserole: This will help to develop the flavor of the venison and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Use a flavorful sauce in the casserole: This will help to bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the dish. Some good options include tomato sauce, cream of mushroom soup, or a combination of the two.
  • Bake the casserole until the venison is tender and the vegetables are cooked through: This will typically take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Serve the casserole hot with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Peggy's Layered Venison Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The venison is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice variety of flavors and textures. The casserole is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own taste.
