I only have a small freezer, and as you can see, I'm living in Northern Illinois. I just received a package each of chops and a roast, and two packages of ground meat. I was thrilled to discover that the ground meat has almost NO gamy flavor ... I simply made meatballs according to my usual way, and added them to my usual tomato sauce. They were great. In other words, the venison I've recieved could pass for very lean beef, and could be used in any recipe. I actually MISSED the gamy flavor!!! If you do get gamy venison, then any recipe that has sherry or red wine, sour cream, or hot peppers will complement it nicely. Ground meat goes well in chili; steaks, chops and roasts go well in stroganof recipes, or any wine-or-booze based stews. Since we in the midwest are having a heat wave (after having an autumn of -10 and a foot of snow), marinade with a combination of soy sauce, wine (or vinegar or even a shot or two of booze or can of beer), garlic, and sugar (this can be any version of sugar -- this is where I get rid of half jars of jam, honey, or syrups). Marinate overnight, then grill.
