This is the recipe I have for the Beerocks my grandmother made. She often used venison because my grandfather hunted and would bring back deer meat. She usually served them with baked beans and/or potato salad. I have included a recipe for the bread dough that I've used. Please feel free to use your favorite, it could even be whole wheat dough.

    I have used my cousin's "2 HOUR BUNS" recipe for the dough for the beerocks, also makes great dinner rolls. If using for the beerocks, the 2nd rise would be after they are filled. 2 HOUR BUNS 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 cup sugar,2 eggs. 5 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt 1 cup lukewarm water, 2 pkgs. dry yeast 1 tsp. sugar. Beat in 1 cup boiling water to shortening & sugar. Beat in eggs, add 1 cup lukewarm water in which 2 pkgs. dry yeast & 1 tsp. sugar have been dissolved. Sift in 5 1/2 cups flour and 1 tsp. salt. Stir and let raise 1 hour. Pan and raise 1 more hour. Bake @ 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until brown
