Number Of Ingredients 19

MEATBALLS:
3 * 3 pounds ground venison
1 * 1 egg, lightly beaten
2 * 2 TBL tomato paste
1 * 1 cup finely chopped onion
1 * 1 large red or green bell pepper
1 * 1 tsp oregano, dried
1 * 1 tsp salt
1 * 1 cup uncooked oatmeal or fine dry breadcrumbs
SAUCE:
1 * 1 cup chopped onion
1 * 1 large bell pepper
3 * 3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 * 3 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
4 * 4 garlic cloves, minced
3 * 3 Tbl vegetable oil
1 * 1 bay leaf
1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 * 1/2 tsp oregano, dried

Steps:

  • MEATBALLS: Mix venison with the egg, 2 TBL tomato paste, 1 c chopped onion, a chopped bell pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, and the uncooked oatmeal. Moisten with a little of the tomato sauce if the mixture is dry. Mix well, form into meat balls. In a large non-stick skillet over medium low heat, add the 3 TBL of vegetable oil. Cook meatballs in batches until browned on all sides; transfer to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 40 minutes at 350°. Cool then refrigerate until an hour before serving. The meatballs can be made the night before. SAUCE: In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine remaining tomato sauce and paste, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp basil, chopped onion, chopped green peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for 5 to 6 hours on LOW. Check and add a little water if necessary. Add bay leaf and meatballs one hour before serving time. Remove the bay leaf, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve hot over pasta. Makes about 3 dozen meatballs, or enough for 8 to 10 servings with spaghetti or other pasta.

These meatballs were delicious! I used ground venison and pork, and the combination was perfect. The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I served them over spaghetti, and it was a hit with my whole family.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover wild game. They're easy to make and really tasty. I like to serve them with mashed potatoes and gravy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dense and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right.

I wasn't a fan of these meatballs. The flavor was too gamey for me. I think I'll stick to beef or pork meatballs in the future.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more moisture next time, maybe by using some bread crumbs or grated vegetables.
