How to slow cook white tail deer?

[harbl_the_cat]

I came back from my first hunting trip with 50 lbs of hamburger, rib roast, steak, and tenderloin.

My parents bought me a slow cooker.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to whip up some good eats with said slow cooker?

Oh ya! Just had some venison slow cooker style tonight myself. Make sure you trim all the fat off and debone if it isnt boneless. Then sprinkle a pkg of onion soup mix on the meat, add a cup of water and set on low for a couple hrs. then add veggies, I use chopped celery, crushed garlic cloves, sliced red pepper, potatoes, baby carrots, turnip, parsnip, sweet onion sliced and then I throw a pound or so of good clean fresh whole mushrooms on top and give it a few more hours. Yummie! The meat will fall apart its so well done, juicy and tender....ENJOY!

Thanks for the recipe - I'm going to try to make that for my Christmas potluck at work.

Sounds like the rib roast minus the ribs is the way to go?

Add a little beef bouillon to a 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of the crock pot. Trim up the roast and put it in the pot. Lay up a pound of bacon strips on top and one chopped onion on top of that.

Use the cuts with the most connective tissue on it, the long slow cooking will allow them to break down and so that is a good way to get rid of the crappier cuts.

Just follow any stew recipe really. Don't really need a slow cooker/crock pot. You can just use a dutch oven low on a stove for the same thing.

Here one of my fav's

1 boneless roast
2 tbsp garlic minced
1 large onion chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1/2 c beef broth
set on low for 7 hrs

All of the above, any cut will be good and tender if coocked slow, yummmy.

Crock rocks! Inside the box is an instruction book, grab a beer.

We found a recipe for slow cooker lazy cabbage rolls somewhere that works well with browned ground venison. Cabbage, diced tomato, onion, etc. Good eats!

Sometimes I will take the frozen roast and brown it a bit in a smokin' cast iron frying pan just to give it a bit of flavor before throwing it in the slow-cooker.

I have a trick that sounds gross...

You know that grainy texture associated with ground game meat chili? You can get rid of it by adding an eggplant. Weird? Oh yes. But when cubed and cooked as long as the chili, it will break down into a slick, fatty-like substance. It also imparts a nuttiness that compliments the wild game taste. Just don't tell your manly-man guests.

I personally have never crock potted venison but if you take that tendrloin lay strips of BACON MMM on it and cook it slow at about 250 deg/F till done it's awfull darn tasty.

I just cooked a roast from the hind 1/4 of my buck last night. Put it in my homemade smoker for 45 min. and then an hour in the bbq with indirect heat. With my secret recipe rub on it of course. Nice and rare in the middle. Great smoky flavour.

No gameyness in any of my venison this year.

I make it in my Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker. I wrap the tough cuts in a few layers of pork caul fat and thick cut bacon. Cook at 225 slow and low or at 340 in high heat method. I use oak and lump charcoal. Whole process is similar to a Brisket or pulled pork method. Monitor internal temps etc.

Get the 'burger used up first, especially if it was ground with pork fat.

Bar-B-Q, chili, spahetti sauce, lasagna, whatever.

Layer of baby potatoes, layer of baby carrots, layer of chopped white onion, load it up with a pile of stew meat and trim.

Mix up a 1/4 cup Bull's Eye BBQ sauce, some Tabasco to your liking, 1/4 cup of Worschester, 1/2 cup of water, and a few spoonfulls of horseradish. Mix this upp, then pour over the meat.

Set on an 8 to 10 hour cook and the house smells great when you come home from work. I tried the same recipe with some cottontails and snowshoes. Turned out great. A buddy of mine said he tried this with goose breasts and legs. He had no complaints.

I like recipes that use a can of cream of mushroom soup. Lots of good ideas here. I use cream of mushroom and onions on a caribou roast and it was very good.
