I made this recipe up one day while trying to figure out what to do with all the ground venison I had in the freezer. I knew we couldn’t eat that many burgers! I have always loved venison stew and threw this together based on what I had in the pantry. It turned out delicious and is so easy to make… Submitted by Pat V.
