Lots of ground venison recipies...

[Hope]

Lots of things we can do with ground venison... venison burgers, sloppy joes, use it in spegetti sauce, meat loaf, goolosh (spelling? LOL!) - (we need spell check! LOL!) :D

I use venison as I would any other red meat.

Lately, I have been using a lot of ground Venison (using up some of last years round and other cuts still in the freezer that I grind as needed) so that is what I have been posting. Will try to add a bit more varitey.

Variety is good. This way, you wont get tired of it. :) I never buy 'cow' meat anymore.

Meatballs are good too. You can cook them with the spegetti sauce - or another good way is to cook them in the oven, in mushroom soup. You can make meatball sandwiches.

Put it in your favorite Italian dish as well. :)

We have lots of steaks, chops and a few roasts - but most people have tons of ground venison.

I keep telling people that my bowshot deer can go in any recipe that calls for beef.

I struggle to keep a burger together on the grill. My solution is to add 1/3 of the leanest beef I can buy.

[Hope]

Ebowhunter - just add an egg to the meat - that should help it stick, and you do not have to add any other red meat. :)

Adding a little PAM to the grill (BEFORE LIGHTING IT) - will help the meat not to stick - causing the patty to fall apart so easily.

Looks like I will not be buying any beef again. An egg will work for me.

I am not near as rustic as SS but I will not give up my charcoal Weber at home.

My only concern with adding eggs to burger is that the meat must then be cooked to a well-done condition. Persoanlly I prefer med rare. Try adding 1/4 cup of one of the following: wine, beer, apple cider, or water. Each will help to hold the meat together and each will add a slightly different flavor to the burger. Also, adding fat replacer (made from soy beans) works well.

Well, I guess I didnt think about that SS... I always cook the meat well done (no blood) - but not crunchy burnt! LOL! I have 3 kids, and I still say better safe than sorry. Sometimes for steaks I leave them a little red for my husband. Also, remember, egg cooks very quickly - Just one egg. You should not be able to see the yellow or white of the egg, because it will be deluded so much.

Hope,

We use eggs in our Vension Meatloaf. Eggs are good - but need to be cooked. However, that addition will certainly help to hold the burger's together.

Also, adding chunks of cheese to a burger (basically taking two thin burger patties and placing cheese chunks between them, then sealing the edges) makes a good taste variation.

SS- now my kids would LOVE that idea!!!!! :D Thank you! They love cheese. :)
