    Directions

    I’ve never had venison before. But any time it’s been mentioned on my Facebook page, the response has been huge. There are a lot of you venison lovers out there!

    Recently, the Michigan Venison Company contacted me about giving their venison a try. I have to admit that since I do not like beef, I was pretty hesitant to try it because people have always told me that the flavor is very similar.

    But knowing how many venison fans I have that read my blog, I thought I’d give it a try at least once. I essentially treated it just like I would treat beef and it turned out really well.

    I have to admit that I personally did not care for it. The broth was good, but I didn’t like the meat. The boys in my house however… To say it was a HUGE hit with them is a massive understatement! So I have to chalk it up to my dislike of beef and say that this recipe is a tasty alternative to beef stew.

    I hope you enjoy it! And if you’d like to get in contact with the company or order your own package of venison, here is the company info:
