📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13” baking dish and set aside.
2
Make the meat sauce. In a large skillet, cook the venison, sausage, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. You shouldn't have any excess fat, but if you do, go ahead and drain it. Stir in pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer uncovered for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes.
