1/3 cup grated cheese, you can use Parmesan, Cheddar, I prefer Assiago.

In a large mixing bowl, Beat eggs, and then add cheese, parsley, and garlic powder mix well. Add ground meat then knead in the cracker crumbs with your hands until well blended. Form into meatballs about the size of golf balls. Brown the meatballs on all sides in crushed garlic and olive oil then put them in a pan of your favorite spaghetti sauce and simmer, covered, for about an hour.

Big Guy01 gave you lots to choose from..... One of my favorite dishes is about 1 lb. ground venison browned well in a little olive oil.....add about 2/3 quart your favorite spaghetti sauce, a can of kidney beans and a cup or two of cooked pasta. I use macaroni, ziti, rotelle, etc. Whatever you wish. When all ingredients are added, mix well, simmer, and then add a liberal covering of grated parmesan or romano cheese. Let sit on very low heat until cheese is well melted. If mixture is a little dry, add more spaghetti sauce to your liking.
This is a dish I serve at bear camp, and it is always wolfed down. Some warm vienna rolls with butter are a nice addition too.
My wife uses the ground venison for Pigs in the Blanket, in place of ground beef. We also make stuffed banana peppers with it.
I used to get my venison mixed with about 1/3 pork. I don't do that anymore. I feel the pork causes the venison to have a bit of an off-flavor if kept in the freezer too long. Some people say it is too dry by itself, but I don't find that to be the case. But, that's just MY opinion.......

One of my favorites is to brown 1 pound of ground venision. Drain and then ad about a half cup of bacon peices and about 8 slices of cheese. Once cheese is melted and bacon mixed in roll out one pizza crust.Spread the mixture evenly on the pizza crust and then roll it up. Put the roll in the oven on 350 until the crust browns and then slice it. Bacon cheeseburger roll ups are a hit.
