Take your steak next level with this Blue Cheese and Pecan Butter
It can well be argued great steak needs no additions – but you won’t regret adding this amazing savory butter. This compound butter...
Full credit where credit is due. This did not start off as my recipe. You see, when I was at the Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival (aka FWFWF!) earlier this year, this gorgeous and bubbly blonde asked to have her picture with me (what?! cray!), and then we got to chatting about food, as you do. She told me about an excellent recipe for stuffed pork & venison baked meatballs on her site, and thought I’d be interested since I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use venison. So thank you, Brittany, I made your meatballs and they rocked! Then I used them to create this ridic sub and I hope you’ll approve.
While this is undoubtedly an excellent use for ground venison (anything that adds a little extra fat to the usually lean meat is gonna turn out great), you can in fact make this with just about any variety of ground meat. Not a venison fan? Go for all pork. Want something with even more flavor? Try a half beef half pork combo. Just remember that fat is flavor (and juiciness) so you want to use a grind that is 80/20.
Making these stuffed meatball subs on super large buns (but small enough to fit in your oven of course) is also an easy way to feed a bunch of hungry folks – say, ones who may be over to watch football, for example. Just lay out the sandwiches and let people cut their own portions out, though no doubt we all have that one friend who will happily eat a two-footer all to themselves!
Whether you prefer to call it a sub, hoagie, hero or grinder, just know that you’re gonna love it.

Browning the meat in pork lard and using great quality sauce are the key to these "better than restaurant" venison enchiladas.
Thinly slicing the meat is the key to these tender flavor packed sandwiches.
