Venison Spaghetti Recipes

SPAGHETTI SAUCE MADE WITH GROUND VENISON

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the ground venison, salt, and pepper and cook until no longer pink. There shouldn't be any grease to drain as deer meat is much leaner than beef.
• Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Let simmer for 30-40 minutes, occasionally stirring.
• Taste test and see if any additional salt or sugar needs to be added to taste. The sugar will help reduce the acidity. If it tastes too bitey, add more sugar 1/2 tsp. at a time.
• Serve with fresh pasta or if saving for later, let cool, then transfer to canning jars and let fully cool before sealing. Refrigerate for up to four days, or freeze for up to six months.
