Instructions

1. Put ground venison in a large bowl. You'll need plenty of room for mixing.

2. Peel and chop three to five small onions. Chopped finely, the onions won't need to be pre-cooked for this recipe.

3. Add one package of dates, chopped as small as possible, to your venison and onions.

4. Add one half cup of canola oil, one egg and several handfuls of plain breadcrumbs. Salt and pepper to taste.

5. Squish all the ingredients together by hand until they are completely combined. Add more breadcrumbs, if necessary, to create a stiff mixture that holds together.

6. Shape your meatballs. Make them all the same size so that the meatballs will cook at the same rate, making your job easier.

7. Cook in a covered baking dish. Coat the baking dish with canola oil. Place the meatballs in the dish so they're not touching. Cover the dish and bake at 350 degrees until done.
