The loafs are formed in disposable aluminum pans as they are pliable for removing the loaf of meat. Also lined the aluminum pan with Saran Wrap to eliminate the meat mixture from sticking to the pan.
The layers are seasoned and cured ground pork butt and seasoned and cured ground buffalo (live on a bison ranch), wanted to try give the visual appearance of bacon.
Have been making this Ground & Formed Bacon for 12 or 13 years. Have always mixed it 50/50 with ground pork butt and another meat. To date we ave used beef, venison, buffalo, elk, moose, goose, antelope, pheasant... it is all good!
The Ground & Formed Bacon seasoning has a meat binder in it and also comes with a cure. Directions come with the seasoning and cure, also you can download the directions to look over from the website.
