Ground Venison and Mushrooms On Rice (or Spaghetti)

This weekend I will try my cooking skills on ground venison and mushrooms served with wild rice. Hubby will love it! And we will finally open that bottle of wine that’s become dusty on the shelf for over 10 months.
Venison is not a common ingredient in everyday meals but keep in mind that game meat is a healthier choice than pork or beef as it is leaner, low in fat and rich in protein.
