Ingredients to make Venison Sausage Dip
- 1 lb. ground venison sausage – mild or hot

- 3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
How to make venison sausage dip
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the ground venison sausage and cook through. You’ll want to break up the sausage into very fine pieces as it cooks.
- While the venison sausage is cooking, add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked venison sausage and stir to combine.
- Transfer to a 9×9 baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until softened and bubbly. If the cheese on top is browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil.
- Remove and serve hot with tortilla chips or crackers.
