Venison meatballs

[Kingudaroad]

Man these are good. If you want to not taste any gamey flavor, trim off as much connective tissue off the meat as you can before grinding.

2 lbs fresh ground venison trim (you could sub a lean beef)

1 lb fresh ground pork butt

1 cup bread crumbs

3 eggs

salt, pepper, garlic,herbs and spices to taste

Mix all ingredients. Form into 3" diameter meatballs. let them firm up in the fridge for a while. Brown on med heat in a little olive oil on all sides. Simmer them in your favorite marinara for an hour or so. Makes about a dozen.

I like the sound of those, and it is another excuse to pull out the meat grinder. Nice looking plate too.

Good looking meat balls. I'm out of venison but have plenty of ground elk left.

C'mon up and I'll fix you up with some! I just took out 10 packages of elk steak from 2007 and made some great jerky over the weekend. Now I can start on the 2008 batch and hunting season is only 10 weeks away. Eat faster!

Looks great Keith. I use my venison for meatballs all the time.

Now that the kids are gone, I'm not going through my venison as fast. They still come over and raid the freezer once in a while though. Lol. I've been focusing on using it before hunting. We make italian sausage out of some of ours and that gets used for the italian type dishes. I'm all out of it though, so have been meaning to try a few different mixes for meatballs.
