Mashed Potato Venison Casserole
I hadn’t come up with a new dish in quite a while, so I decided to try combining a couple of recipes & came up with this.
I ground the venison yesterday while the meat was still frozen. I left the skins on the tators when I mashed them & used
a Mexican style shredded cheese that consists of Monterey Jack, Mild Cheddar, Queso Quesadillo, & Asadero cheeses.
I don’t have a 9”x9” dish, so I went with a 9”x13”. I had to make some extra sauce to cover the meat mixture.
It turned out really well but it was more time extensive then I expected. I boiled the tators at the same time I was
making the meat mixture. The tators were done about 10 minutes before I put the dish into the oven. I had the
tators mashed about 15 minutes before the meat was baked. After putting on the soup, tators, & cheese, I cooked
it for about 20 minutes more. All told, it took about 2 ½ hours from start to plate.

Re: Mashed Potato Venison Casserole
Good vitals Jorge, and with the bigger dish you used, than that you had on hand, meant, you had a "LOT" extra and with you spending all that trouble and time makin' it, I sure would've thought you'd have wanted somebody extra there to help you eat it
Hint Hint, got a buddy from N.C. that likes to eat, headed to Michigan with me next week and it wouldn't be a problem swingin' by on the return trip

Re: Mashed Potato Venison Casserole
I hope so. I did very little squirrel hunting last fall, no turkey or deer & now no spring.
Hopefully this will be the last issue for awhile.

Re: Mashed Potato Venison Casserole
Thx. Hopefully your shot holds up. Doc gave me the option of shots but, last time, I screwed up & waited
too long. I put myself through a lot of needless pain so I decided to go full bore & get it done sooner
than later. What are you fishing for? & don't say fish!!
