LOW CARB Super Bowl Snack- Wonderful Easy Low Carb Swedish Meatballs..........YUMMY!

I'm gonna make this recipe this weekend with Venison 8)
-
Doug, If you use venison for the meatballs, do you have to add fat? I made meatloaf with 2 pounds venison and 1 pound of ground beef. It turned out pretty good. Before FTS I used bread crumbs in it, but now used crushed pork rinds - hubby didn't even notice. I'll have to give these meatballs a whirl.
-
I add veggies :) Mushrooms are a wonderful edition, as is bell pepper.........brings moisture 8)
-
When doug makes his ground venison he adds one cube of boston butt to 4 cubes of venison in the grinder.When I make meatloaf I like to use 1 pound ground venison and 1 pound sow . ;)
-
Umpa, Do you mean sow like pork? Sorry to be so dense! Our son-in-law gave us some ground venison which is very, very dry. I marinated some venison loin meat and beef pieces on Wednesday to make jerky (with the FTS recipe) so today I am dehydrating it. I'm putting 1/2 in my fake NuWave (it's called a Big Boss) and 1/2 in my dehydrator to see which comes out the best. I got the Big Boss at a yard sale for $4 - it had never even been opened! I love roasting veggies in it! I'll let you know which dehydrating method we like best.
-
Yes, we are hunters. The pork adds moisture.So does mushrooms,peppers and onions ;)
-
We call pork 'sow' in my neck of the woods too. I'll have to try adding pork and/or veggies to the venison for moisture because the beef hamburger still left the meatloaf a little dryer than I prefer.
