Crockpot Venison Meatballs

[Tony Sanders]

Anyone have a recipe for these. I have made venison chilli and venison stew, but have not done the meatballs. Thanks.

I'd think you just use any recipe you want and substitute venison for the beef.  Especially if you had some beef fat added to your deer meat when it was ground up.  If you didn't and it's "deer lean" you might have to buy some beef scrap, grind it and mix it in.

I'm making venison meatballs today.

I am using 1 lb bison burger with 1 lb ground pork. I mix the meat together,Add 1 medium onion, chopped fine,  fresh ground black pepper, salt, some hot pepper flakes, oregano, garlic, and some dried bread crumbs. I then make the mix into balls about 1 1/2" diameter, put them on a cookie sheet, then into the freezer for a bit. This will help the meatballs stay together when cooking. I fry mine until brown in a bit of olive oil, then add to the pot with my favorite sauce. Simmer in sauce for at least an hour. Serve with spagetti and garlic bread. Yum Yum!
