I like to try new things as I usually do but after trying this one I have stuck with it.
1 pack of roasted garlic onion soup mix( I used Liptons)
1 deer roast
water
Add the roast to the slow cooker and fill with 2 inches of water, add half of the soup mix to the water and sprinkle the rest over the roast. Cook for 8 hours and enjoy.
Trust me on this one my daughter eats it as often as possible when I make it.
I have had the same Very tastey. I do add vegatebles then i have a great meal waiting when i come home. Enjoy your meals. Don
Very simple, but it don't get any better, been at it for decades...yum.
Add a can of tomato soup to your pot as well yummy
Yep. Did the exact same on weekend and the wife was all over it! Had to ward her off while i was taking it apart! Like a dog!Quote:

I use the same recipe....I put the crock pot on a low setting and cook for at least 8 hrs....I also add mushrooms and onion slices in the last hour or so, and make gravy from the liquid in the pot....Mmmmm I'm getting hungry !! LOLQuote:

Hmmm. I might have to try this. I've always just diced up sweet potatoes and carrots to fill around the roast with two cups of water. Never failed me yet, but flavouring it with onion soup mix....... I can't believe I've never thought to try it. Now I will.
I add a can of mushroom soup too. It's really good. And makes good gravy too.
So am I understanding this right? just 2" of liquid in the crock pot, so the roast is not completely covered with liquid, correct?
1 cup of water is all you need.
I do mine almost the same way. I use regular onion soup mix and throw in a clove or two of garlic and 1 cup of water. Works for moose, deer or bear.:thumbup: 8 hrs later I pull the roast, transfer the liquid to a pot then make my gravy.
Great way to have a nice sit down meal in the middle of the week.
HA
Why use just water when some red wine would add so much more body and flavour?
What!!! You ruin good meat with that crap? lolQuote:

Instead of just water I'll add some beef broth, the wine if using will go in later, it is more or less for flavouring the gravey.
O.K, I'm thawing out the venison roast now!!! mmmmmmm.:moose:
Thanks all for the variations on this recipe. I knew I had no venison roasts but I did have lots of venison stew meat, so why not try that and vary it some more. I coated the cubed meat with "Montreal Steak Spice" and heavy amounts of flour (to thicken everything up) and then a quick pan fry to sear the meat. Into the slow cooker with all sorts of root veggies,peas, fresh herbs, bay leaf, the soup mix, beef broth, a little water, and a splash of wine (or two….). After about eight hours, I'll do up some potatoes and slice up some sour dough bread. Right now the house smells soooo good, can't wait for dinner time. Thanks again.
Going to try this tonight :)
Onion soup mix, red wine and potatoes and carrots from the start. Do it all the time, fabulous.
My wife uses the onion soup mix and a can of mushroom yummy gravy after. Lot of good variables for this I might have to try the tomato one today!
Here's another variation. I use 2 cans of Campbells, "Golden Mushroom" soup with about 1/2 can of water. Onions, potatoes n carrots and let er cook! You don't have to make gravy as the soup will be delicious as is. Gotta try this at least once in your lifetime.
