My husband is a hunter and he gets a deer or two every season ~ so we are always looking for different recipe's for venison. This is one of the absolute BEST venison recipe's I have ever tried! The only thing I did differently was use 4 cloves of garlic instead of 2. My husband and I like spicy food, so we substituted hot salsa for regular and hot taco/chili seasoning for regular. Spicy or not, this is a VERY tasty dish!! It has a permanent place in my recipe book :)

This is very good. I made a casserole instead of stuffing the peppers. My family does not like wine so I used beef broth.
