Simple Man's Venison Dinner

Another favorite in our kitchen is a simple dish. It can be the go to meal during the week. We also do this when we camp. I have so many variations of recipes for Venison that I am trying to get together for this blog. I hope you enjoy them.

This recipe can be changed in so many ways to suit your taste. Sometime I use a soy sauce, honey marinade or a spice run marinade like, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned meat tenderizer and salt & pepper with a little olive oil to coat. But by far the below marinade is our favorite. Again so versatile and good on really any meat. This is my main venison marinade or choice.

Simple Stir-Fry Venison Meal

• 1 C Zesty Italian Dressing 
• 1 T garlic powder
• 1 T onion powder
• 2 T Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 T Red Pepper flakes (add more for a meal with a kick)
• 1 LB Venison Stew cut meat
• 1-2 green peppers 
• 1 yellow onion

Mix all ingredients Italian dressing, garlic, onion, Worcestershire and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. 

Pour over venison in a zip lock bag and marinade for a couple of hours or over night. 

Slice your onion and green peppers. Over medium-high heat, saute the green peppers and onion until slightly tender. Add the venison and continue to cook until med rare. About 10 min. This is great over rice or egg noodles. Enjoy! 

Old Family Favorite

Sausage & Cheese English Muffins

This is a old time favorite in my house. My husband grew up eating these little breakfast muffins and now I am addicted to them. They are so easy to make and freeze very well.

I make them often just to have on hand during the week and are excellent for vacations. If you are like me, I like to make as much prior to a vacation so I don't have to put much thought into the cooking and preparation and can enjoy my family R & R.

This recipe is so simple and only has 5 steps to prepare. On Sundays I make these for the coming week and it takes about 20 minutes to cook, prep and then freeze. The below recipe will make 12 sausage muffins. You can use 2lb of sausage and 1 large Velveeta cheese block to double it.

1 lb Pork Sausage
1 small block of Velveeta Original Cheese
1 package of English muffins
1/2 tsp of garlic powder

Cook the poke sausage in a saute pan, then drain. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Cut the Velveeta cheese into cubes and then add to drained sausage and mix till melted
Cut the English muffins in half and place on a baking sheet
Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over each muffin
Bake for 10 minutes.

You can dive right in and eat a few or let them cool completely before you put them in the freezer. Once frozen, put them in a zip bag for storage and enjoy through the week!

When you need a morning snack, grab one and put it in the microwave for about 40 seconds and enjoy.
