Ingredients

  • 3 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 box Hamburger Helper™ cheeseburger macaroni
  • Chopped pickles, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, as desired

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl. Increase heat to medium-high. Add venison to bacon drippings in skillet. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until venison is thoroughly cooked; do not drain.

    Stir in ketchup and mustard. Stir in milk, hot water, and uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper™ box). Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 11 to 13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of liquid is absorbed. Top with bacon. Serve with remaining ingredients.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cooking the venison in bacon drippings adds flavor and much-needed fat to the super-lean venison.
  • tip 2
    Go crazy with the toppings! Drizzle with extra ketchup, mustard or hot sauce. Or top with avocado and crushed red pepper flakes.
