If you have ground venison in your freezer, you need to make this bad boy for your Super Bowl party. I added a little bit of citrus to the ground venison meat to combat the heavier flavor and it is divine. I love how the extra-lean venison meat crumbles perfectly over the Greek yogurt cream cheese mixture. To complete this party-ready dip, all you have to do is add a little bit of cheese and veggies of choice over the top – it’s that simple!
