Venison Enchilada Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread mashed potatoes evenly in a 2-quart casserole dish; set aside. Brown the venison in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crumbly and no longer pink, set aside.
• Heat the canola oil in the skillet, then stir in the red onion, garlic, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook until the onion has softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in cooked venison, and season with Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Spoon mixture onto potatoes in the casserole dish.
• Stir together eggs and cottage cheese in a small bowl; spread evenly over meat mixture. Top with tomato slices, and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven until set, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Stir in enchilada sauce and salsa; set aside. , Place 2 tortillas, overlapping as necessary, in the bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Cover with a third of the meat mixture. Top with 1 cup corn; sprinkle with 1-1/3 cups cheese. Repeat layers once, then top with remaining tortillas, meat and cheese. , Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until bubbly., Freeze Option: Cover and freeze unbaked casserole. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet until almost smoking. Carefully add venison meat, chopped onion and chopped garlic, season with salt and pepper and brown the meat, stirring occasionally. Add chili powder, brown sugar and cilantro. Deglaze this with the chicken stock. Removed from heat and allow to cool. Stir in 3 cups of the shredded cheese.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Soften 12 corn tortillas in a microwave oven, wrapped in a damp cloth for 10 to 20 seconds on high, until soft and pliable. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of venison mix into center of tortilla and roll. Place rolled enchiladas into a lightly oiled baking dish, seam side down. Smother with enchilada sauce and sprinkle remaining colby-jack cheese, to taste. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
• Flame-roast bell pepper until skin is blistered, place in a bowl and wrap with plastic. Allow to cool, then peel, seed, and chop. In a heavy bottom skillet, heat canola oil. Saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic until onions are lightly caramelized. Add tortillas torn into pieces. Add chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, pepper and salt to release oils in the spices, about 1 minute using care not to burn the spices.
• Add chicken stock, coffee and orange juice concentrate. Add chocolate, chopped into pieces. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove from heat, carefully blend smooth in a processor or blender in batches (sauce should be smooth but still thick). When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional chicken stock if necessary.

Steps:

• Brown venison.
• add all the spices to browned venison and blend in.
• preheat oven to 350.
• pour in 8 ounces of salsa in oven safe 13 x 9 inch pan.
• Spoon venison mixture, evenly divided, into each of the tortillas and roll up.
• Place rolled tortillas, seam side down in pan.
• cover with cheeses.
• bake on 350 for 15 minutes (until cheese is thoroughly melted).
• add guacamole or sour cream after baking if desired.

Steps:

• Chop the root vegetables into roughly bite-sized chunks. Roast the root vegetables together in the oven after coating lightly with about a teaspoon of the oil. Roast with the rosemary and some ground pepper for about 40 minutes at 350°F, or until at a good eating texture.
• While roasting, remove most of the outer paper peel on the garlic, coat lightly with a few drops of the oil, then wrap in foil and roast in the same oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes. Keep both this and the ingredients of the previous step warm.
• In a saute pan, place the rest of the oil and heat to moderate on your range top. Add the mushrooms and the ground venison, being sure to break up chunks and stir often. Add the sauce and seasonings including more ground pepper. You may add the bell pepper here, too; I just simply prefer it al dente.
• Simmer and stir until the mushrooms are cooked and the venison has just turned no longer pink. (You may add more Worcestershire sauce if the mixture is not moist enough enough.)
• Mix into a casserole dish with the roasted garlic - squeeze it so that the garlic pulp comes out, and discard the rest of the head. Mix in the root vegetables, and then the asparagus (broken into bite sized pieces), hearts of palm (sliced crossways) and the bell pepper (de-seeded and chopped) if you not have already added the latter.
• Immediately bake at 350°F for approximately ten minutes, and enjoy.
• If you've prepped this earlier for heating as a casserole later, yes, you'll need to cook this final stage longer.

Steps:

• Brown beef, with onions and jalapenos.
• Drain; add the Taco mix as directed.
• Spray a casserole-baking dish with oil spray.
• (Large enough dish to be able to place tortillas flat).
• Add the flour tortillas in layers.
• Spread each tortilla with 1-2 tablespoons of beans.
• Distribute desired amount of meat mixture on beans.
• Spread beans and meat with 2-3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce.
• Add some olives.
• Add some cheese.
• Continue to layer until desired amout of tortillas are used, stopping with beans, meat, sauce, and cheese.
• Cover and bake in 350 degree oven until hot and bubbly (about 45 min) or heat until hot in microwave.
• Cool 15-20 min. before serving.
• It will set up better.
• This will reheat in microwave in no time, it also, freezes well in single serving section.
• Thaw before reheating.
• I like to save a little sauce and cheese to use before reheating, the casserole absorbs them.
