Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 medium bell pepper (red or green)
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup chopped parsley or green onions (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Place a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the ground venison to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the venison from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the diced potatoes. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the cooked venison to the skillet and mix it with the potatoes and vegetables. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Use the back of a spoon to create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley or green onions over the top, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot directly from the skillet and enjoy a hearty Deer Camp meal!
