My husband gave me permission to make this dish any time I want to! We loved it. I didn't have potatoes so I made garlic dumplings for the topping (put the cheese in the dumplings and not on top). Yummy!!!

Our family really enjoys this recipe! Sometimes I'll substitute ground venison for the stew meat venison, and throw in leftover vegetables like beans or corn.

Try it with beef if you don't like venison!
