Note

 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • For more fiber, choose whole-wheat egg noodles, if available.  
  • Recipe can be prepared with ground turkey, chicken, pork, beef, or meatless crumbles if venison is not available.
