re: Favorite ground venison foods besides sausage, jerky, Chile

Can you post the recipe?

Low quality ground pork and ground beef from the supermarket are better than deer. No one actually likes a deer burrito more than a beef one or pork one seasoned the same way.

But you shot the fricker, might as well eat it

Throwing deer in a burrito doesn’t magically make it better. I’ve enjoyed them because I like meat and am not picky but it is what it is. Most people are getting burritos made with a pinch of cheese, dry spices and heating in a microwave. Not gourmet but sure it’s good enough for a dollar a burrito. Could do the same shite with any other meat yourself.

Chili works because you can’t taste the meat unless you do huge cubes of it.

Anything else is better with any other meat product. Hamburger steak with deer meat deserves a slap. Dry arse hamburger patty is what you get.

One I do that wasn’t mentioned is Sheppard’s pie. I put a little twist on it and it’s good and different.

I use deer ground meat in everything, I've even made hamburger helper with it before.

I love hamburger helper with venison

Good addition. My boys would plow a venison Shepards Pie growing up, and I could slip in peas and carrots to make it more healthy.

We do burritos and smash burgers once a week. Sometimes a chill or meat loaf

It’s hard to remember how we use it throughout the year, then you read the thread and remember meatloaf, hamburger helper, and Shepard’s pie. Made a veggie soup last week.

We don’t buy ground meat, deer meat replaces all ground meat meals throughout the year, the only exception for us is burgers, or stuff to mix with the deer meat, like in meatballs or meatloaf. I’ll make burgers with deer meat, but our grind is very lean; probably a 90/10 if you were to buy it, so when I want a greasy grilled burger I’m going get some 80/20, to either mix with the deer, or just make it by itself.
