Deer Season Entertaining Easy Venison Recipes

If you live anywhere near a hunter or hunting area, then chances are you are going to get some deer meat. There are some great, easy recipes besides the old, tried and true-deer chili, deer stew, deer roast with vegetables, deer stroganoff, grilled venison tenderloins or chicken fried deer steaks with gravy and mashed potatoes.

Deer Jerky

You aren’t a true deer connoisseur unless you have tried to make your own deer jerky. You don’t have to have a dehydrator; you can use your oven, set on 200-250, with a hot pad stuck in the oven door to let the moist air out. It can take anywhere from 5-10 hours, depending on how chewy you want it. You can use the meat from the ribs, the flank steaks and the scrap meat that doesn’t end up ground in hamburger or sausage for this. Keep in mind that the meat you start with, ends up about a half or two thirds less after drying. Marinate ¼ inch strips and pieces overnight, in some liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, a little seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Next day, spread meat on wire rack, foil underneath and put in oven until done, 5-10 hours.

An easy appetizer is Venison Cherry Spread

1 pkg. of softened cream cheese, ¼ to ½ cup of dried or fresh crushed cherries or pie filing and leftover cooked venison, roast or ground, (and a few red pepper flakes if desired for heat) and spread on crackers.

Venison Roll-ups are another easy appetizer

Simply slice steaks with the grain to make thin breakfast steaks. Roll around two or three asparagus or green onions, or one of each and secure with a moistened toothpick and throw on the grill until the meat turns brown.

Venison Roast Pizza is an easy leftover meal

Get a cooked, prepared pizza dough, or use a loaf of flatbread or French bread, split. Mix 1 pkg. of softened cream cheese with a tablespoon each of: horseradish sauce, ranch dressing, Italian dressing and spread on pizza dough or bread. Top with leftover venison roast or cooked ground venison, onions, pepper, olives or mushrooms, as desired, top with Italian blend or mozzarella cheese, bake at 350 until golden brown and cheese melts.

Crescent roll Venison Lasagna pie

Take 2 rolls of crescents and open on a pizza pan or (large round baking pan), spread with tips outward, like a sun shape. Mix together: ½ pound of venison, ½ pound sausage, tomato sauce, onions, peppers and green and black olives, and one pack of dry ranch dressing, prepared as instructions. Once mixed, place in the center of the “Sun”, top with shredded cheese, fold all the points towards the middle, and bake at 375 until golden and inside is bubbly.

Venison Cottage Cheese Pie

Mix 1 pound of ground venison, mushrooms and onions together and put in a 9″ frozen pie shell. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 1 cup of cottage cheese and pour over the top of the meat mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until set, or top mixture turns golden brown.

Whether you’re an avid hunter or just someone who enjoys the offerings of a hunter you are sure to impress somebody with these easy venison recipes.

Cinnamon Twist Bread
Yield: 1 pound loaf

6 oz buttermilk or powder
3 tb honey
1 egg
2 tb butter
2 1/4 c bread flour
1 tb sugar
1/2 ts ground cinnamon
1/2 ts salt
2 ts yeast

Put all the ingredients in the pan. Start the bread machine. Cover a
bread board with plastic wrap and dust with flour. When the machine
stops kneading, remove the dough from the container with your hands,
leaving the bread pan in place in your machine and close the lid.
Place dough on floured board. Dust top of dough and your hands with
flour. Pat dough into a 6″x 10″ rectangle. Combine 2 teaspoons
cinnamon and 1 tsp. sugar. Spoon mixture in three long rows, down the
dough. Roll dough into a fat cylinder, left to right, then fold it in
half twisting the ends together.
Place the dough, ends down, back in the bread machine, close the lid
and continue the cycle.

be sure to keep the machine closed while you are putting the cinnamon
on so any heat in the machine stays in. Work as quickly as possible
because the machine still ticks off the time while you’re doing it.

I use powdered butter milk, 3 tb and 6 oz warm water. I have left
out the egg and reduced the flour to 2 c with great success. I have
also replaced the honey with sugar. I have also reduced the amount
of sugar in the dough to 2 tb and found it to be sweet enough. In
other word, the basic recipe is great, but modifications don’t seem
to bother it. Remember, you will be playing with the dough, so don’t
worry if the dough is sticky at first, you will be adding some flour
when rolling it out.
