Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and placing a rack on top.
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground venison, Italian sausage, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange them on the prepared rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Ensure an instant-read thermometer reads at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center of a meatball. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
