A friend was nice enough to hook me up with 8 lb of ground venison, and I'm soliciting advice on some good recipes. A stew is definitely in order, given the cold and dreary day we're having here in PA.
Cold and dreary is definitely a great day for some venison chili! I just make up my regular chili recipe but substitute the venison, I also like to add a little sausage or chorizo since the venison is so lean. Another great thing I have started doing is stuffed peppers and chili rellenos with venison.
You have to find a friend to hook you up with a tenderloin to smoke. I have to beg my friend all year and usually he will come off on one. I guess I could just buy a gun.
cook up some rice, mix with black beans and shredded cheddar and jack cheese and season to taste, add ground venison, stuff into bell peppers, bake, yum!
Oh, chili would be good. I am not hunting this year, but I am probably filling in at work for a hunter, and if I'm lucky, I might find some venison coming my way too. I'm partial to some good steaks, but I'll eat any and all of it.
