Instructions

  1. 1 Combine brown sugar, curing mixture, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, MSG, mace, and mustard; sprinkle over venison in a large mixing tub. Mix spices into venison, then add liquid smoke; mix by hand until well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Place into a non-reactive glass or plastic container, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Prepare casings according to instructions below (Cook's Note).
  2. 2 To stuff, cut off a 2-foot (60-centimeter) piece of casing, pinch out water, and tie a knot at one end of casing using twine. Fill casing with venison mixture to within 4 inches of open end using a sausage stuffer or large funnel. Tie open end near sausage mixture, so mixture is firm. Tie two sausage ends together to form a circle. Repeat with remaining casings, venison mixture, and twine. Place bologna in a large roasting pan.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until bologna reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 2 hours. Cool, then refrigerate until cold.
  5. 5 To serve, cut through casing lengthwise; peel off and discard casing. Slice bologna into thin slices. Bologna may be kept tightly wrapped in the freezer; defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
