Stacey Harris, author of the great venison cookbook “Happy Healthy Family,” has yet another easy, fantastic dish to serve up for hungry chow hounds ready for a tasty meal.
Her sandwich combo of venison, roasted peppers and goat cheese – and don’t let that last one throw you off – is simply superb. During a photo shoot a few weeks ago, Harris whipped these up for us in no time and left us wanting more. Here’s what she has to say about these great sandwiches in Happy Healthy Family:
Everyone seems to be on-the-go these days, and while sandwiches are the perfect food for that, this is the sandwich that you really need to pay attention to. A sandwich. A simple, delicious sandwich. Really, does anything more need to be said? I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone on Earth who would not enjoy this meal.
Our family loves to devour this sandwich with homemade sweet potato fries while watching Alabama football!
