Venison Cowboy Casserole
Steps
- Prepare your pellet grill hopper with Bear Mountain BBQ Chef’s Choice pellets.
- Preheat your grill to 375°F.
- While your oven is preheating, mix the ingredients for the cornbread in a large bowl. Once well mixed, set aside.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. You can do this step on your grill or your stovetop. Add oil and sauté the onions for about 4-5 minutes. Add in ground venison and cook until just browned, but still slightly pink. Drain fat, if any, then mix in garlic and taco seasoning packet. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Add corn, beans, and Rotel. Mix well. Top with cornbread mixture and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden. Rotate on your grill as needed for evening cooking.
