I love hunting and this is a great way to use venison. Excellent flavor...it was a great hit in our household and made it for our church dinner and it went over so well!

The flavor is OK, but the ketchup flavor still pokes through a little bit. It was too thin on the day we made it, but the leftovers thickened up in the 'fridge overnight.

OMG, what a fantastic recipe! Both of my children gobbled it down and asked for seconds. Neither is much of a fan of venison. My SO is already planning on having me make a batch to bring to camp the next time he goes. Super easy and delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used steaks because we didn't have any roasts in the freezer. Came out fantastic anyway. This recipe is a true winner and will definitely go into the regular rotation. It makes me look forward to hunting season!
