Our family loves big Saturday morning breakfasts. We sleep a bit later, take a little more time waking up, and eat a lot heartier. Our guys love eating wild game bagged right here in Arkansas, so our Saturday morning breakfasts are a great time to cook some venison sausage. We also love waffles, so these Venison Sausage Waffle Tacos are an awesome combination of two favorites.
