The Best Venison Stew and I Make it in the Slow Cooker!

5/27/2015

I have to rave, no not rave, shout it from the rooftops that this venison stew is amazing!  Originally, I made this stew because I wanted to make a hearty stew with venison so I took elements from two of my favorite recipes, Beef and Vegetable Soup (with ground beef), and Vegetable and Beef soup and created a delicious venison stew.  But then, I made a few changes that took it from good to WOW!  

I omitted the beef bouillon cubes (trying to cut back on these kinds of processed foods), reduced the diced tomatoes by half, and added 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter.  It was perfect!  The flavor stood on its own without the bouillon or the added tomatoes and the addition of butter took it to a whole new level.  I added butter since venison is incredibly lean and it gave the broth so much flavor and depth.  This is now the BEST venison stew so if you have access to some healthy and delicious venison, this is a must try recipe and if not you can always try it with beef for stew.  If you use beef, you might reduce or eliminate the butter depending on how much fat is in the beef.  

One more tip... if you are in a pinch for time, you can skip the browning step. This stew will still come out fabulous.

3.  Cover slow cooker.  Cook on low 8-10 hours.  Take out any large chunks of meat and shred/chop before returning to the stew.  Remove bay leaves before serving.



*House Seasoning:

1/4 cup salt

1 Tbsp. black pepper

1 Tbsp. garlic powder

Stir the ingredients together and store in shaker or other container.  


House Seasoning Recipe is from Paula Deen's Kitchen Classics:  The Lady & Son's Savannah Country Cookbook and The Lady and Son's, Too!

Thank you and you are not missing anything. I am so sorry, my blogging platform does not support any way to make printable recipes. I have asked for this support several times and it still hasn't happened. I should google if anyone has figured out a hack for this. In the meantime, the best I can offer is to copy and paste the recipe into a word document and then print from there. Thanks for reading and I will check into this again.

Simply high light the content you wish then left click and select print, that should do the trick, at least on a computer, I don't have any idea about other media ie: smart phones.
