What to do with Deer Sausage to make it stretch?

I have deer sausage in casing that needs to be made into a meal. Any ideas to make one round feed a family of four? EEP!What to do with Deer Sausage to make it stretch?
Take it out of the casing, use as ground in a recipe that calls for ground deer (or ground beef even....); like this one:

Salt and pepper (to taste)


2 tbsp. flour mixed with 1/2 cup water

Spoon 1 tablespoon of meat mixture on tortilla, roll up, and place in greased 9x13 baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas and make single layer in dish, top with cheese and green onions.

Deer Sausage is especially fabulous when you make Deer Sausage Chili! Remove it from the casing and add this sausage instead of your chili meat using your own Chili recipe! The cheese and jalapenos will only make your chili better!





Be sure to have grated cheese, Frito's, sliced jalapenos, crackers and extra chopped onion so everybody can add what they like to top off their bowls. Make some cornbread and a light salad to go with it!
take it out of the casing and use it instead of ground beef in any recipe like chili, tacos, meat loaf, hamburgers...thats what I do.
