Peggi's Layered Venison Casserole hot out of the oven.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This hearty venison casserole has a consistency similar to a venison goulash. It may not win a contest for being the prettiest dish, but it's definitely a Blue Ribbon venison recipe. If you have a supply of venison, it's a delicious way to use it. The layers of potatoes and venison have just the right amount of seasoning and veggies. We loved the texture that thick cut mushrooms added. Creamed soup is the glue that holds the dish together. While it bakes, the soup runs to the bottom and mixes with all the other flavors. We'd recommend adding the French fried onions on top. Not only do they add flavor, they give the casserole a nice crunch.

How To Make peggi's layered venison casserole

Step 1

Brown ground burger, onions & celery together.

Step 2

Add garlic powder & celery salt. Drain.
Step 3

Grease or spray a deep casserole dish. Next, slice the potatoes about 1/4' thick. Add a layer of potatoes to the bottom of the dish. Salt & pepper them.
Step 4

Next, spread 1/2 of the burger mixture on top of potatoes.
Step 5

Now, add another layer of potatoes on top of that. Salt & pepper.
Step 6

Put the remaining burger mixture on top of that.
Step 7

Drain green beans really good. Place on top of the last layer.
Step 8

Spread on sliced mushrooms next.
Step 9

Mix soups together.
Step 10

Spread on top of the last layer. Do not add any water to this, as it makes its own juice.
Step 11

Run a fork down through casserole in about 4 different places, just so soups can seep down through it.
Step 12

Cover with lid or aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until you can stick a sharp knife down through casserole and the potatoes are done.
Step 13

Then add on the French fried onions and leave uncovered.
Step 14

Bake another 15 minutes or until onions start to brown. Remove from oven and let stand, uncovered, for about 15 minutes before serving. **I serve this with homemade rye bread & it is a meal in itself.
