Venison Marinade

I didn't measure anything but the ingreedients are:

Lemon Juice
Olive Oil
Worcestershire Sauce
Soy Sauce (just a little)
A1
Oregano
Garlic
Salt and Pepper

I kept the steaks in marinade for 2 days and then cooked them in the broiler on low for an hour and they turned out great!! Cooks.com has a ton of recipes, but I used a combination since I didn't see one I loved. Hope that helps for the hunters wives. =)

Steph's Cheeseburger Creation!

This is just my own little creation but we all love it in our house!

Makes about 4 large burger, 6 regular size burgers or 12 sliders

1 lb. of Ground Beef (or slightly over that)
1 Green Onion
1 Small Onion (I like White ones)
1 Egg (whisk to break up before adding)
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Salt
1 Tbsp. Original Mrs. Dash
2 Tpsp. A1 Sauce
1 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 to 3/4 (your pref.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Sliced American Cheese

For the Green Onion and White Onion you have to chop them really small, combined it is about a 1/4 cup of onion (or more if you like)

So just put everything except the sliced cheese in a bowl and mix it together with your hands, form you patties to the size of your choice (we make large ones because we eat them without hamburger buns) let them rest for about 10 minutes to let the flavors kind of come together.

Then grill them how ever you prefer in the winter I make them either on the stove top or on the George Forman Grill.

Once they are done then add the sliced cheese on top, let it melt then you are ready to eat.

Best thing with this is have fun with it if you like spicy flavors add some Cayenne Pepper or Crushed Red Peppers, or instead of A1 use Hot Sauce. I have also put Cajun seasoning in there instead of the Mrs. Dash. Just keep playing with it until you love it. :)

Chili

Brown 1 lb ground beef, drain then put in crock pot (I'm trying to remember if I season the beef... I usually always season with garlic and onion powder, so lets go with that)
3 or 4 cans of beans (kidney, red, pinto, etc.) I usually use one of each, but you can use all one kind
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can of corn
1 pkg of McCormick Chili seasoning
You could add all other kinds of yummy things if you would like, but this works for us.
As with the taco soup we add sour cream and cheese when we serve it up.
A great side is corn bread in a cast iron skillet, so rustic and so yummy.

I will have to let you know though, there is a Farmer's market that we go to down here and I bought a can of chili mix that is "homemade". It smells amazing!!

Enjoy!

Taco Soup

Posted by Julie, recipe from Christie. :)

1lb ground turkey or lean ground beef
1 lg onion chopped (I just realized that we never do this because Bry doesn't like onions... I just add onion powder to the meat) what a cheater. :)
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 Can pinto beans
1 Can chile hot beans
1 Can whole kernel corn
1 Can stewed tomatoes (Mexican flavor)
1 Can stewed tomatoes (any flavor)

Brown meat and onions, drain. Mix ranch and taco seasonings into meat. Then, without draining, add all of the other ingredients. Simmer 1 hour (or cook in crockpot for several hours)
We love to load ours up with sour cream and cheese and scoop with chips.
I totally wish I had some now.
