I rarely review, but I had to this time! I really don't care for game meat, but my husband is a hunter and I needed something to do with all the "venison burger" we have. This recipe is excellent! I did say I modified this a bit because I am allergic to pork. I omitted the pork and used a pound of ground venison we had frozen (I thawed it). I adjusted the spices a bit since the original recipe calls for more meat than I used. I also used some onion salt and fennel seeds ( a pinch). I used about 1/8 cup of brown sugar. I formed into patties (instead of freezing) and fried in a nonstick skillet with olive oil. There was no "game" taste to this and it is so tasty to me since I can't have typical pork sausage. Thank you for this recipe!!!

These are very good and moist. I did use old fashioned oats and really liked the texture, taste. I accidentally used 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and oats, used one egg, same amount of oil and sugar, then realized i had done that. I then added some extra flour and 1/4 teaspoon more of baking soda and flour after I realized but kept other proportions the same. they came out fine. Everyone liked them, thank goodness bc I just bought a 25 lb bag of old fashioned oats by accident !

LOVE this. It is light and fluffy and not very sweet. I used powdered sugar and just "eyeballed" it. I also added some to the whipping cream after i had it whipped. I combined the cream cheese mixture and whipped cream in the mixing bowl (stand mixer) on "stir", kind of pulsing it, to combine it thoroughly. I used this w/ a chocolate layer cake, with strawberry jam and a layer of frosting in between the layers. There was plenty of frosting for a 9" double layer cake and the husband/ kids to lick. This does not taste like a sugary butter cream, so if that is what you like, it may not be your thing. We all loved it.
