Ingredients
  • 2 cups buttery mashed potatoes
  • 1 pound lean ground venison (or other big game)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Heat the canola oil in the skillet to a hot state, followed by adding the red onion, garlic, celery, and red bell pepper into the mixture.

Spoon the meat mixture onto the mashed potatoes in the casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs and cottage cheese together until well-mixed, then spread the mixture evenly over the meat mixture in the casserole dish.
