Easy venison taco dip is layers of Greek yogurt cream, chili lime spiced ground venison with Pepper Jack cheese and fresh veggies.

Guys. This. Dip.

That is all. Post over.

I’m KIDDING! But really, you have to make this bad boy if you’ve got some venison in the freezer. I added a little bit of citrus to the ground venison meat to combat the heavier flavor and it’s divine. I love how the extra lean meat crumbles perfectly over the Greek yogurt cream cheese mixture.

All you have to do is add a little bit of cheese and veggies of choice over the top of everything. I choose some lettuce, tomato and jalapeno – classic and I like it.

Dip, dip hooray!

Chips non negotiable.
