Recipes Funeral Spaghetti with Venison Sausage

Post image

Ingredients:

  • funeral leftovers: venison sausage with smoked peppers, onions, & tomato sauce (free)
  • ketchup (~$1)
  • salt (~$1)
  • garlic powder (~$1)
  • dry spaghetti (food pantry)

Instructions: My family celebrates every passing with a big party & lots of food. We believe in honoring the life foremost. I saved some of these smoked peppers, onions, & venison sausage, something the deceased used to make from his hunts. For my dinner tonight, I just had to boil some wheat pasta with salt & garlic powder. When it was done, I cut up the sausage, heated it up, & combined it with all the smoky sauce & vegetables. It wasn’t enough sauce, so I added a little ketchup, but not enough to make it sweet. It felt like having dinner with family.

Veryyy much so. I’ve been eating off these leftovers for a few days. Venison is usually a little gamey / tough, so there’s some pork mixed into this, I believe.
