OP, if it’s not too much to ask, what did you do with the venison and how did it turn out? I was going to suggest ravioli but chose not to when you and others mentioned pasta. I’ve never cooked it. As a first attempt, I might have made something ordinary like meatballs and experimented with different ingredients. ---

The only thing I find disappointing is ground venison burgers. They were too dry and a bit gamey. Ground venison works best in dishs with other ingredients and spices. ---

We made a Bolognese sauce — noticeably different from ones with beef, but not extremely so. And quite good. I’m having some leftovers right now for lunch. Thank you all again for the help. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-to-do-with-ground-venison/950837.md?page=2)
