Corn and beans stew with the venison in a tangy tomato sauce for a hearty bowl on a cold day. Garnish with sour cream and scallions for presentation points.

1 pound ground venison
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pint tomato juice
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 can (10 ounce size) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 ounce size) pinto or kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 envelope (1.25 ounce size) chili seasoning mix
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the venison, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the venison is browned.
Add the venison mixture to the crock pot along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the flavors have melded.
Serve hot with any desired toppings (sour cream, chopped green onions, minced jalapenos, cheese, etc)

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Love this, making again and super easy. Will continue using this recipe. Could add 1 cup diced cooked potatoes if you have some on hand, I did the last time.
