Note
If you’re looking to spice it up a little, you can add some Italian seasoning, such as oregano and basil to your venison sausage while frying and sprinkle a little on top of the cheese, too. YUM!
Was looking for something to do with this Venison Sausage I’ve had for a while. This recipe was just what I wanted. Didn’t have a million ingredients; didn’t need them. It was delicious. Threw in a little minced garlic, and Italian Seasoning and it was perfect. Thank You!
You’re very welcome Mike and thank you for the feedback. Added garlic and Italian Seasoning would be great!

Hello,
I was wondering what I can substitute for the bell peppers?
You can use any type of pepper or leave it out. I wouldn’t use a very hot/spicy pepper though.
