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!

Serves: 10
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 pound ground venison
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime, divided
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese (it mixes easier when soft)
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded or finely chopped lettuce
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Chips or veggies for serving

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until golden.
  3. Add the ground venison and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of the salt, pepper and the juice of ½ of the lime.
  5. Cook venison taco meat for 2 more minutes, and then remove from the heat.
  6. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, salsa, the remaining lime juice, and the remaining salt.
  7. Spread the yogurt cream mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.
