Turn a pound of venison into dinner with this creamy ground venison and mushroom rice recipe. It is always a hit with our family and I am sure it will be with yours as well.
If you are looking for a different way to use some of the venison in your freezer, this is the recipe for you. It is quick, easy and filling.
Here in the midwest, it is not uncommon to have a freezer full of deer meat. And while most of ours gets turned into tacos or venison chili, we like to have some variety.
So we experimented with one of our favorite meals that uses ground pork, creamy pork chop suey, and used venison instead. And let me tell you, we like it every bit as much.
This is an easy dinner that is quick enough to make on a weeknight. It is also easy enough that Little Dude can make it on his own.
He always claims all of the leftovers. Then we will heat them up for breakfast the next few days, he likes it that much!
Carlee’s Tips and Tricks
To make this easy meal, just brown up a pound of ground venison with some salt, pepper, and garlic. You can add some diced onion if you have it, or leave it out if you prefer.

We grind our own meat and don’t add any fat, so there is nothing to drain. If your process meat has grease, feel free to drain it.
Otherwise you can leave it in and use it to toast the rice. Once the rice has toasted for a minute or two, add the rest of the ingredients.
Use the can from the mushroom soup to measure out the milk. I usually add the whole can of mushrooms, liquid and all.
We usually serve ours with either green beans or broccoli. You can have whatever vegetable you like on the side.

Very easy and tasty. I added water chestnuts for a little crunch and topped with chow mien noodles!
Yum!
Hello Carlee,
Excellent recipe! Very hearty & goes together quickly. I added a couple TBS lard to the skillet browning the venison, 2 cloves fresh garlic, and a handful of sliced fresh mushrooms with the canned. Yum! Thank you.
Those sound like great additions. I am so glad you liked it!
