• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef or 1 1/2 lbs ground deer meat
• 1/2 lb ground sausage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch (or more if needed)
• 4 cups tomato juice

1. Mix the ground beef, sasuage, salt, pepper, chili powder, onion, crackers, 1 beaten egg and 1 cup tomato juice.
2. Shape into balls about the size of walnuts and bake at 350 about 30 minutes, turn and bake about 20 more minutes.
3. You can drain the drippings off or leave them, sometimes I leave them if there is not too much grease.
4. Mix remaining juice, cornstarch, a little chile powder and some of the dripping from the pan, I warm the sauce up in the microwave just a little before putting in the hot pan.
5. Put back in the oven till juice thickens or is good and bubbly.
