Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. With your hands gently mix until just combined.
- Use a disher to scoop an even amount of the meat mixture or use a kitchen scale -- we made the meatballs 2 oz. each. Moisten your hands with water if the meat seems to stick.
- Place meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or on a vegetable sprayed non-stick cooling rack placed inside the baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The amount of time will depend on the size of your meatballs. Don't overcook.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the meatballs cool. Once cool place the meatballs on a lightly oiled sheet of wax paper. Freeze. Once frozen store in a freezer container or freezer bag. We use both to keep them fresher.
- When ready to eat, thaw out the number of meatballs you want to use and add to whatever recipe you like.

SPICY VENISON MEATBALLS
Hunting season sneaks up on me every year and I find myself needing to use up a few pounds of venison to make room for the new. These venison meatballs are great served in hoagies or with pasta and sauce. These are spicy but not to the point that it overpowers the venison.

VENISON MEATBALLS
"I learned to cook game while my husband was a forestry student," recalls Sheila Reed from Fredericton, New Brunswick. "We lived off the land as much as possible. I still enjoy these savory meatballs in a slightly sweet barbecue sauce. I make a big batch for an annual pool party and there are never any left."

VENISON MEATBALLS
Harry Van Heerden, my son's godmother's father, comes to visit each year from Durban, South Africa. Even at eighty-two, the silver-haired gent is quite a handful. When the sun starts to get low in the late afternoon he'll holler out "Vaapgae!" the Afrikaans word for "barrel." That's the cue to bring him a brandy. Harry shared this mustard recipe with me and it does wonderful things for game, whether gemsbok or whitetail.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Add the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Add the venison and knead with your hands until well blended. Form into golf ball-size meatballs.
- In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the mustard sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Serve the meatballs with the remaining mustard sauce on the side.
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard, condensed milk, vinegar, oil, and salt. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.
- This mustard sauce is very good on smoked meats and with summer sausage.
- If desired, keep half of the sauce as is and add 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish to the other half.
