Great Venison Cooking

Posts Tagged ‘Ground Venison’

Happy New Year! What a great start to 2012. We spent a quiet evening with a few friends, who devoured the two venison appetizers I brought to the party. Nothing makes a cook happier then people licking the plate clean!

The only thing these two appetizers have in common is that I used venison in them. Other than that, they are completely different tastes. Not surprisingly, the men had finished off the Dill Bacon Bites practically before I’d set the tray on the table. The ladies drifted toward the onion tarts.

I’ve posted both of these recipes on my Backyard Grocery site because I took pains to make sure I was using only local ingredients in them (that’s usually the criteria for posting a venison recipe on that site versus this one). So pop on over to check out the recipes: Dill Bacon Bites and Root Beer Onion Tarts.

Ready for just about the easiest — and yummiest — appetizer (or breakfast) recipe in the world? Like many good recipes, this one was born out of a combined need to use up some venison breakfast sausage and find an appetizer to bring to a Memorial Day party. I wanted an appetizer that would be easy to grab and go, knowing people would be milling about.

I think sausage and biscuits are one of the greatest combinations on Earth, so an idea was born. Venison sausage and biscuit pinwheels. Okay, I’ve had these things at parties before, so it wasn’t an original idea. But it was a tasty one, well worth repeating here! And so easy! All you need is about 1/2 pound of venison breakfast sausage (recipe below) and 1 container of ready made biscuit dough (you can make the dough if you want; I’m just too lazy to do that).

Try this easy venison appetizer at your next party—it is a crowd pleaser every time!
