Ground venison

[Star1pup]

I got "volunteered" to serve on a county committee that will donate venison to those who need food.  This will all be ground meat as there are so many ways it can be used.  We would like to also give out some recipes to help people make the most of this donated venison.  If you would like to share some recipes it will be for a good cause.  It also is good PR for hunters.

ground venison is dry and will not hold together.  Most use pork or beef fat to add moisture.  If you mix your venison 50/50 or even leaner with pork or beef fat it can be used for anything from hamburgers to spagetti, chili, tacos or any thing you would use ground meat for.  The roast or backstrap cuts should be cooked as roasts or steaks for they are the best cuts.  I prefer to cook my roasts with a recipe I found on this site a while ago.  If you respond I will look for the recipe and post it.
