Anyone out there have a favorite? Looking to keep after the venison supplies so the wife will let me hunt again next fall.

Here's a really easy one that I've been using a lot this fall/winter (it's the wife's favorite).
1 medium venison roast 1 can mushroom soup 1/2 cup white wine 1 table spoon of fresh chopped garlic (I use a litte more) small bunch of green onions, chopped fine 1 large white or yellow onion "chunked" 1 green pepper (optional - I think it tends to over power the other ingredients) 1 bunch of your favorite fresh herbs (I like parsley & cilantro, but have used sage with very good results also).
Let it go in the crock pot on low for 3-5 hours depending on the size of the roast.
The sauce (mushroom soup & white wine) is great, but I've been messing with the herbs and veggies to fine tune it. It's all personal preference, but the above ingredients are a good starting point.

This is one that Gary Clancy had in ON a few weeks ago - I tried it and it was AMAZING:
Soak a defrosted roast in a brine overnight in the fridge. The brine is made up of warm water, 1 cup kosher salt and 1 cup brown sugar.
In the morning, remove the roast from the brine, throw it in the crock pot with the usual suspects (carrots, spuds, onion). Salt/pepper/season to your liking (I just used kosher salt, pepper and a few minced garlic cloves). Add about a cup and a half of ginger ale. Cook all day.
Tender beyond tender.

we have 3 favorites that are pretty simple to fix.
hard to beat the traditional roast with carrots, taters and onions. i like adding a quart of homemade tomato juice, makes it really tender and gives it a richer flavor.
a great one for deer hunters' lunch, or anytime for that matter, is put a roast in the crockpot and toss in a jar of pepperocini peppers. makes killer "italian beef" sandwiches.
i always slice a few packages of round steak off the hindquarters - put a package in the crocker with a can of condensed cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup. after the meat is cooked, add a package of frozen homestyle egg noodles. turn pot to high, stir and add water as needed while the noodles cook.

Joel...The best way to "keep after the venison supply" is to give it to those of us that are eating tag soup! PM me and I'll help you out! RR

I got this recipe from my sister in law after having it at her house. I decided to make it tonight with venison. This is cooked in the oven at low temp but I think it would work fine in a crock I just haven't tried it that way yet.
1lb venison stew meat 3 carrots 2 potatoes 2 stalks celery 1 onion 1 Tbsp tapioca 1 slice bread, cubed 2 cans stewed tomatoes 1 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp mixed italian spices
Chop all vegetables, mix all ingredients together in a 2 quart casserole. Bake at 250* for 5 hours.

You guys are great, keep 'em coming!
My problem with venison roasts is that I can get them good and tender, but no matter which seasonings/herbs I try, I tend to get about the same flavor from the end-product. Just trying to mix it up and get a few different tastes from the same cut of meat!

Joel, whenever I make venison roast I add at least 2 cubes of beef bouillon.
