    Ground Venison Recipes

    Published: Sep 19, 2023 · Updated: Sep 19, 2023 by kateschat · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Various dishes showing how to cook with ground wild game meat.
    Four dishes made from ground venison.

    We love to hunt here, as well as barter with others. This means we often have a lot of ground wild game on hand. It's super easy to use it - you can almost always just treat it as you would any red meat!

    Bowl of ground moose and bean chili.

    The one exception is burgers, in my opinion, but I have a recipe coming for you on that!

    My favourite thing to do is mix up my own seasonings. Did you know there's really no need to buy packets of things like taco seasoning? Instead, customize your own blend and always keep a large jar on hand. This makes it super easy to do bulk cooking sessions like having taco meat all ready to go.

    Bulk Taco Meat
    Taco meat is one of the easiest ways to meal prep. Rather than freezing raw meat, cook up a batch with my homemade taco seasoning and freeze in meal-size portions.

    Family Favourites with Ground Wild Game

    Nothing beats chili. Especially if you have family members that are new to tasting wild game, chili is a great introduction. The beans and tomatoes and your best spices can hide any sort of gamey-ness. I also love to make meatballs for easy meals. Serve some now and freeze the rest for later.

    Big Batch Moose Chili
    This chili has quickly become a family favourite recipe. You can use up any ground red meat you have in your freezer stash from hunting (or grab beef at the grocer, I won't tell!).

    Big Batch Venison Meatballs
    I have this thing about meatballs. Especially Venison Meatballs. First of all, I just love to eat them. And second of all, if I need to make one meals worth of meatballs…well then I may as well make a big batch of Venison Meatballs and bake them in the oven!

    Worldly Ground Venison Cuisine

    Take your shepherd's pie and make it into hunter's pie. We hunt, not herd, so this is a fun meal I grew up on. It also reheats super well after being frozen, making it perfect to stash in the freezer for busy days or when you want to share a meal with someone that needs that little bit of extra care.

    Add an Asian flair with your favorite umami condiments and you're ready to go with rice and veg.

    Hunter’s Pie
    This is your classic Hunter’s pie, at least to what I grew up with. It’s quick to throw together, freezes well, reheats well, and is well loved. This is a great meal to make a few of and freeze for nights when you don’t want to or don’t have time to make dinner!

    Korean Venison
    Korean Style Venison ridiculously easy and tasty dinner! Six ingredients and ready in 15 minutes plus cooked rice! You could use canned stew meat or canned ground meat, and any other thawed or fresh ground meat other than venison. We ate it with local sugar snap peas that were delish!

    Sweet and Sour Meatballs
    It's official that I'm in love with Sweet and Sour Meatballs. They're so versatile! They taste like good take out and they can be prepped ahead. Sweet and Sour Meatballs even freeze well in a Ziplock bag with the cooled sauce. They easily upscale to make large batches at once. Need I say more?

    Venison Soups

    I love a comforting bowl of soup when it gets cold. Nothing beats the smell of fresh sourdough waiting in the wings to lap up every last drop.

    Venison and Chickpea Curry
    Venison Chickpea Curry is not a fancy curry recipe. There are no elaborate spice pastes and steps. It’s bare bones, super fast, simple ingredients and damn tasty. Everyone in our family loves it!

    Crockpot Creamy Butternut Soup with Venison Sausage Crumbles
    This simple, thick Creamy Butternut Squash Soup can be made in the slow cooker and features homemade sausage crumbles.

    What are your ideas for using ground meat? It's a really economical protein choice because you are simply using up everything that's left when you are done with butchering. I also promise these all turn out well with beef or poultry if that's more your speed.
