Note

 

  • Tip 1: If venison is ground with added fat, do not use oil in recipe. If a lot of fat is released from the cooked meat, drain the fat, and return meat to pan.

  • Tip 2: If using diced tomatoes with salt added, do not add salt in Step 4. Wait until the end of cooking to add salt based on taste.
