This thick, hearty and healthy slow cooker venison stew is made in the crockpot with tender hunks of deer meat, veggies, and a rich & flavorful broth.
This venison stew recipe (https://youtu.be/fUuaPrCwGJY) is one of the most popular recipes on my website. But, some have commented that they love the flavor but wish it was a bit thicker. So, I decided to give you a super easy version of deer meat stew that you can make in the crockpot that’s nice and thick. Just what you all asked for!
The reason I like making venison stew in the slow cooker is because the crockpot allows you to cook your deer meat low and slow (or braise gently in liquid) for hours at a time with little to no effort. And you’re not messing up or crowing the oven/stovetop.
This is the BEST slow cooker venison stew because it combines a rich, flavorful broth (that really works WITH and is designed for your wild game), tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies. And, you’re basically only working on it for about 15 minutes before you let the slow cooker do all of the work for you! How easy is that? (where are my Ina fans at?)
As I mentioned previously, if you’re working with a tough cut of meat or one with a lot of connective tissue, it’s best to cook it low and slow. AKA, cooking it at a low temperature for a long time to ensure that the meat falls apart. If it isn’t falling apart, turn the heat down and cook it longer. I recommend cooking this stew recipe for 8-9 hours on low in the slow cooker. You can do 4-5 hours but your meat won’t be as tender and the flavor won’t be as developed. So, you’ve been warned!
Since this recipe takes 8 hours to make, you can always do all of the chopping the night before and sear your venison and add it to the slow cooker. When you wake up, add the liquid, set it, and forget it while you go about your day.
