Welcome
Welcome to the Hunting Widow’s Guide to Great Venison Cooking, where you’ll find free venison recipes for venison backstraps, venison burgers, venison roasts, and more. If you love to BBQ, we have tons of recipes for the grill; just look on the BBQ & Grill page. In the winter, nothing beats a hearty stew or meatloaf, and you’ll find recipes for those too. You’ll also find tips for cooking venison, and articles and videos on preparing meat (field dressing, skinning, and quartering the deer).
Why did I start this venison recipe site? Because my husband is a hunter, and a very good one at that. As a result, I always have about 100 pounds of venison in the freezer—no matter how much I cook, the meat just keeps reappearing. After eating about 50 gallons of chili one year, I realized I had a choice to make—I could keep making the same dishes over and over, or I could really learn how to cook with venison and experiment with gourmet recipes. So my quest started. I love looking for interesting recipes and testing them with venison. Cooking with venison can be tricky, but I’ve learned how to adapt recipes so the meat is tender and delicious. This web site is the product of that research. Bon Appetite!
