Submitted by Spyder-man

"Had to use us some of that fresh deer meat in the freezer so I threw this together based on my wife's usual "ragu" sauce."

We subbed ground turkey for the chuck and used some venison that a friend gave us... this was SO good. I think it maybe could have used a little more garlic, but we are garlic freaks in this house. Tom didn't notice the cooking time so we ended up ordering pizza the night he made it and heating it up in the crockpot a couple of days later... it was REALLY good, the flavor really got through! Thank you for sharing this!
