Potato Skins Stuffed with Venison and Mushrooms

[mazzgolf]

It came out REALLY good! Delicious! I halved the recipe (I only used 2 full potatoes tonight), but it is so stick-to-your-ribs filling, I could only eat 1. Lunch for tomorrow!

And, side note, this is my first venison meal from a deer I both harvested AND butchered myself... makes you appreciate the food all the more.

 

(recipe below - you should experiment with the amounts - the amount of venison, mushrooms, onions, cheese can all vary to taste)

Venison Stuffed Potatoes

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 large russet potatoes (about 12 ounces each)
• 12 ounces venison (sausage or ground with some spices)
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

2. Prick the skins of the potatoes with a fork
3. Lightly brush oil on potatoes
4. Cook potatoes in large baking casserole at 375 for 45 minutes or until they are cooked
5. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half long-wise
6. With spoon, scoop out the middle of the potatoes (leave about 1/4 inch of flesh on skin.)
7. Put the scooped potato middles off to the side
8. Put potatoes skins back in large baking casserole
9. Add salt and pepper to the insides of the potato skins
10. Heat oil in cooking pan
