I love coming up with new recipes for cooking venison. I usually get inspired by trips we take. This recipe came to me on our recent trip to Virginia. Wade and I stayed at a wonderful, old, historic hotel…The Homestead. Now, I always cook with venison in our kitchen, but this recipe is just a little different. There are no noodles involved. It’s pure protein, so it won’t slow you down, but gives you the energy you need.

I usually cook my meatballs the old traditional way served with noodles. You can serve with noodles if you like, but for us this is an appetizer. While we were staying at the Homestead in Virginia we stopped at their local pub for a place to relax. We had a dinner we had to attend that night so we didn’t want anything too heavy. We ordered the meatballs. They were ok, but I told Wade, “I have an idea.” I told him these would be so much better, 1, using venison, and, 2, smoking them in our Bradley Smoker.

As soon as we got back from our trip I went to cooking. I love to experiment with our kids. They loved them right away. The venison smoked meatballs have become a necessity at our ranch. It’s now a great appetizer our hunters look forward to. It doesn’t put them to sleep yet gives them the energy they need to be successful in the field. These are also wonderful paired with your favorite pasta, too. Hope you enjoy 🙂
