Back in our college days, beer money always seemed to be in short supply. It certainly couldn’t be wasted on mere frivolities like groceries. Wild game and Ramen noodles kept us fed. Back then, we made this recipe with ground venison and it became a favorite way to feed our entire crew.

Serve the dish with a splash of extra soy sauce.

We still make this dish today, not only because it is an outstanding way to stretch the grocery budget, but because it tastes great. A favorite of all three kids and an easy one for them to make on their own.

Wild game and low cost ingredients are a great way to stretch the budget.
