Venison Sloppy Joes

Step 1

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil shimmers, add the ground venison and brown.

Step 2

Remove the venison and set aside. Add another drizzle of oil if needed and sauté the diced yellow onion until brown and soft, or about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional minute.

Step 3

Deglaze the pan with water and vinegar. Incorporate the ketchup, sugar, and all the spices. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for a few minutes to thicken. Return the venison and stir.

Step 4

Serve with warm hamburger buns.
