After receiving several packages of fresh ground venison from a friend, I was asked to find some good recipes to use it up. This delicious casserole fit the bill exactly. Even my little sister, who hates tomatoes, any ground meat, and cheese, loves it. I use canned tomatoes. The preparation time is for cutting the potatoes and, if using fresh, tomatoes. The cooking time includes the browning of the venison.
