Venison Meatballs With Southern Gravy Recipe 45

Steps:

• Finely dice onions, then sauté them in olive oil until they're about 2/3 cooked. By hand, mix up ground venison and ground pork in a 3/1 ratio. Once the two meats are pretty mixed up, add the dry ingredients: bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, spices. Mix some more. Add onions. Mix some more. Keep at it until all the ingredients are distributed throughout the ground meat. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Form meatballs by working fingerfulls of the mix into a pocket on one hand. (I prefer slightly larger then Golf Ball size) Arrange meatballs in a baking pan with a little bit of space between each and bake for about 25 minutes. In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil then add oil oild and add enough egg noodles for your desired serving size. Cook noodles for approximately 10 minutes. Strain in colander and set aside. Prepare Sausage Gravy (think southern gravy, biscuts and gravy gravy) as directed on the box or bag. Place noodles on plate, put 3 meatballs on the noodles, top with the gravy! As a side I prefer steamed broccoli.

Steps:

• Put venison into mixing bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in saucepan and add garlic and half of onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add onion mixture to venison. Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley, egg, cumin and coriander. Mix.
• Shape into 20 balls of more or less equal size. Heat 2 remaining tablespoons of butter in skillet and add meatballs. Cook, stirring gently and turning to allow meatballs to brown evenly, 10 minutes. Transfer to dish.
• To skillet add remaining onions and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add paprika and thyme and stir to blend. Add broth and wine and bring to boil. Add cream and stir. Return meatballs to skillet with sauce and cover. Cook about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top.
• Combine ground venison, Italian sausage, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg, white wine, garlic, basil, and oregano in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Scoop meat mixture from the bowl and form into 2-inch balls. Place meatballs on top of the cooling rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• As soon as meatballs go in the oven, begin the sauce: heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are dark brown in color, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together half-and-half, mustard, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour half-and-half mixture over mushrooms, reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continually. Turn heat off, season with salt and pepper, and let sit to thicken.
• Remove meatballs from the oven, transfer to a serving plate, and drizzle with mustard sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble venison over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over meatballs., Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
