How to Make Venison Hash

  1. Dice 1 large onion and 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
  2. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 4 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  3. Add diced onions and potatoes to the bacon fat. Cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
  5. Add 1 lb ground venison, 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Stir in the crumbled bacon before serving.
