Directions

  • Place the meatballs in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.
  • The meatballs are now ready! Top on pasta with marinara sauce, in a submarine sandwich or freeze for later use. To use after freezing, heat directly from the freezer in the oven at 400F for 20 minutes.

SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:

  • The ground venison can be replaced with grocery bought ground beef.
  • The ground venison can be replaced with any ground red wild game meat. Ex: moose, elk, venison, duck, goose, to name a few.
