    4 ingredients is all it takes to put this easy Crock Pot Venison Roast together. Let it sit in the crock pot all day while you are away and come home to a warm meal. Are you concerned about the "game" taste of deer? Don't be. This venison roast recipe is loaded with flavor and none of it gamey.

    Flavorful and delightful, this deer roast recipe will become a favorite.

    Do you have a hunter in your family? We do. Our third child, Cade is the hunter. Not quite sure where he picked it up from, as my husband doesn't hunt. But, he developed a passion for it so my hubby takes him out.

    Now, in case you are stumbling upon this post because you are uneasy with the thought of deer hunting, let me assure you. If there wasn't a deer season, the deer would overpopulate and the insurance companies would be really happy.

    Why?

    Well, because the car accidents caused by the overpopulating deer would help keep the insurance companies in business. And if you are going to thin out the deer, you might as well eat them and not let them go to waste.

    The venison problem

    The problem most people run into with cooking deer meat is the game taste. A lot of people like that flavor, however, many people do not. The solution for many people is to ground the meat into hamburger (deer burger) and put it in venison chili or venison tacos.

    The solution to reduce the gamey taste is to soak the meat in buttermilk or I have heard plain vinegar or salt water for a few hours.

    The quick venison solution

    The quick solution would be to use these four ingredients to make a delicious, mouth-watering venison roast. It couldn't be simpler and it will help the picky ones at your table give it a try.

    The process

    All you need for this recipe is a venison roast, a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, a packet of gravy mix and beef broth.

    That's it. You add it all to the crock pot and put the crock pot on high heat for 5 hours or low for 7-8 for a 2-2.5 pound roast.

    Adding the ingredients to the roast and let it cook all day!

    Tips

    • Let the roast cook whole and in one piece until about 1-2 hours before it is done. Then, shred the meat in the crock pot and let the meat soak up the juices and flavoring. If the meat isn't ready to shred yet, use a knife and cut the roast into chunks. The longer it cooks, the easier it will be to shred.
    • You can use a lower sodium gravy mix.
    • It may be needed to add additional broth while cooking. Deer meat is very lean so be watchful it doesn't dry out. Adding more broth if necessary will help that.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

    Pin for later!

      Is a deer ham the same as deer roast?

        Good question. I did not know, so I did a little research. From what I could tell, yes, they are the same thing, just called different.

        Well, in this case, the dry gravy mix really is the best option. It works well with the onion soup mix and beef broth to help make the roast as good as it is.

      This recipe was so good. I added celery and onion to the crockpot since I needed to use them up. It was not dry nor tough and I paired it with mashed potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower with homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I’m looking for a great recipe for venison stew meat to make Irish stew I’d any one gas a good recipe.

      This dish was fabulous! Hubby cringed when he heard deer roast, said it was going to be gamey. It was not. The juices made the perfect gravy.

        I'm so glad he liked it! We have a freezer full of deer meat in our house but nobody really wants the "game" flavor. This recipe definitely eliminates the game flavor. Thanks for the comment!
