    Just wondering how you guys prefer you're venison. I killed my first deer on Sunday and got a large amount of meat, looking for some creative and tasty ways to cook it. I'm sure there's a thread like this somewhere but I just want to hear some responses for my own. Thanks!

    If you have a grinder, deer tacos all the way. If not, I like a hind roast with onions, potatoes, carrots, a little beef broth, garlic and water. Throw it in the crock pot for 8-10 hours, and season to taste.

    We make everything, meatball bombers, hamburgers, fajitas, hot venison sandwiches. We go through the ground venison like crazy. I never add any fillers to my ground venison either! :)

    Crazy Burgers.

    One pound ball of ground. Fold a piece of bacon into a V shape press the burger down on it to about a 6 inch by one inch patti.
    Cook that side until bacon is to taste, fold another piece of bacon, flip the burger over on top of it and press lightly.

    Stir fry some onions and peppers

    Make two grill cheese sandwiches.

    Make a burger out of the burger and the grilled cheese sandwiches. Add whatever else you may enjoy.

    Cut one full potato into 8 wedges and fry these.

    I bet you'll like it... a lot.

    We really need to have a proper Recipe thread.

    I do the same thing as Remyngton with backstraps. Marinate them in brown sugar/etc. Wrap them in some bacon. Pow! them are good.

    I also make a really nice stir fry.

    This year I'm going to try and do a Venison Parmigiana. However, I need to get the ingredients first. (If you know what I mean)

    I really enjoy cooking, I especially like cooking when I've harvested it myself.

    Take a deer gut it in a controlled environment rinse and wipe the inside of the gut cavity hang the deer in a cooler for 10 days skin and trim all fat and silver skin separate the muscle groups do not cut any bones trim off the bone. Cut into medalions marinate in spices and olive oil cook in butter till rare pull it off and let it finish, serve hot. Perfection

    Make yourself some venison bacon. Mmmmm. Bacon. Venison bacon BLTs are the best year round.
