Ground venison forms the hearty base of the dish. It gets even better when it gets seasoned up with all your favorite taco seasonings. Creamy mac and cheese gets folded in to complete the filling. You could stop there and have an outstanding lunch or dinner, in fact, that very combination is a favorite around our house.

But let’s be honest, it’s hard to eat cheeseburger mac with your hands. Well, it isn’t really that hard, just a little messy. The solution, surround it with a wonton wrapper, egg roll style, then deep fry it to a golden, crispy brown.

Serve the egg rolls with your choice of dipping sauces.
