Notes

Extra Servings, Extra Value
This recipe makes more than four servings, making the overall cost a bit higher—but each serving stays around $1.25 or less. Save extra portions in the fridge or freeze them to enjoy later.
Change it Up
Ground venison can be used in place of ground beef. Add a little oil or butter while cooking, or mix in moisture-boosters like sautéed onions, a splash of broth, or even a spoonful of tomato sauce to keep it tender and flavorful.
