Grain Bowl with Blackened Shrimp, Avocado, and Black Beans
This blackened shrimp salad bowl is big and bold in flavor and makes for a low-calorie meal packed with shrimp, brown rice, corn, crisp bell pepper, black beans, and avocado. Easy to create with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen/pantry. If you prefer to serve burrito-style, just heat up some flour tortillas and wrap it all up. Either way, it's delish!
Instant Pot Venison Chili
Chili is one of my favorite ways to utilize the abundance of ground meat you get with a deer. I like to use my Instant Pot to eliminate the mess it makes on the stovetop as it simmers. It is also done much quicker. I haven't seen a recipe here so I thought I would share. Top with sour cream, cheese, and onions if desired.
Smoked Sausage with Spaghetti Squash
Microwaving the spaghetti squash ensures hands-off steaming while you cook the rest of tonight's dinner in a single skillet. If your microwave-safe dish can only hold one squash half at a time, steam it in two batches.
