crock pot venison roast

1 – large onion cut in slices

1 – 8 ounce bag baby carrots

1 – 8 ounce package mushrooms

½ pound new potatoes, quartered

2lb venison roast, rinsed and patted dry

2 TBS extra virgin olive oil

1 can cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup

1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

1 cup beef broth

¼ cup steak sauce

(I double the gravy part of the recipe just because we love gravy. The other nice thing is to freeze the gravy to make vegetable soup or a stew)

In a crock pot put onions, carrots, mushrooms and potatoes.

Season the roast with salt and pepper. I use Montreal steak seasoning. (this is an awesome all purpose seasoning…I use it for everything) In a large skillet brown all sides in oil over medium high heat. Add the roast to the crock pot.

In the same pot you browned the roast in add the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, steak sauce and beef broth. Heat through scrapping all the browned pieces from the bottom of the pan…it adds some good flavor. When heated through pour the gravy over the roasts and veg’s.

Cook on low 8 – 9 hours. High for 3 – 4. The roast will not be fall apart tender if you cook on high. I suggest cooking on low.

Number of Servings: 6
