Directions:

Combine breadcrumbs and milk in large bowl and set aside (allow these to soak for 15 minutes or more).
Sauté chopped onions in canola oil until translucent.
Add minced garlic to onions and sauté another 1 to 2 minutes until garlic begins to brown; remove from heat.
Add ground venison, ground pork, onion and garlic mixture, eggs, salt, basil, oregano, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper to large bowl with the soaked breadcrumbs; combine thoroughly.
