Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the base: Arrange carrots, onions, and mushrooms in the bottom of a slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season the venison: Rub the venison roast with crushed garlic, black pepper, and salt. Place the seasoned roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Create the gravy: In a separate bowl, combine condensed cream of mushroom soup, condensed beef broth, water, and dry onion gravy mix. Stir until the gravy mix is fully dissolved. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Combine and cook: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the venison roast and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker tightly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Slow cook to perfection: Cook on High setting for 8 to 10 hours, or until the venison roast is very tender and easily shreds with a fork. (8-10 hours)

06

Step

Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the venison roast from the slow cooker. Slice or shred the roast. Serve hot with the gravy and vegetables from the slow cooker, ideally over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.

For an even richer flavor, sear the venison roast in a hot pan with oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a delicious crust and depth of flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the pot roast, such as potatoes, parsnips, or celery. Adjust cooking time as needed.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the gravy during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    This is now my go-to recipe for venison pot roast. So easy and delicious!

    I was able to use a roast directly from frozen! I did have to add about 2 hours to the cook time, but it worked well in a pinch.

    My family devoured this! Even my picky eaters loved it. The venison was so tender, you wouldn't believe it wasn't beef.

    I followed the recipe exactly, and it was amazing. The gravy was so flavorful, and the venison was fall-apart tender.

    I like to add some pearl onions to the slow cooker as well, they add a great flavor to the dish.
