Crock Pot Venison

Crock-pot Venison

What you will need:

*Any sized Crock-pot based on the number of people you will be cooking for.
*Venison Chops (I prefer this cut over the roast since I save my roast for making jerky)
*Vegetables (Small bag of red potatoes, small bag of carrots, 1 package of baby portabella or white mushrooms.  You can use whatever vegetables you prefer.  Mix it up a bit.  Try using celery with your favorite peppers and onions.  Just remember you only have so much room in the pot!)
*Beef broth or Cream of Mushroom soup
* Multiple spices (Mediterranean sea salt, cracked pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, fresh garlic cloves and steak seasoning or any of your personal favorites)

Preparation:

*Cut Venison Chops into cubes and place into the Crock-pot
*Chop vegetables and mushrooms into bite sized pieces and toss them in with the Venison
*Season meat and vegetables generously (Keep in mind that over salting can result in a ruined meal.  I’m never one to measure but you can always add more based on taste testing.  Better to not salt enough then to salt too much.  Take a look at the photo I provided to see what my seasoning looks like prior to cooking.  Don’t be afraid to season.  Most people suffer from a lack of flavor in their meals and don’t even know what they are missing out on.)
*Pour beef broth over meat and seasonings and stir.  You may only need 1-2 cups of broth or 1-2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup.  (Remember this is not a soup recipe so don’t over do the liquid to meat/vegetable ratio.)
*Once all of your ingredients are in and stirred, place the lid on your Crock-pot and turn on High for 4-5 hours depending on how well done you prefer your meats to be cooked.

When I don't have a man I will do it myself!

So I came across a pretty cool hunting accessory called The Game Hauler.  The name says it all.  It was designed with hauling big game in mind but it's design makes it so much more versatile.  Basically you can use it to haul anything that you can strap it to.  I decided to order a few as gifts as I had a few people in mind.  This accessory comes in different camouflage options as well as blaze orange.

This product is not only great for anyone but let's face it I think it will particularly benefit women.  With less upper body strength than most men The Game Hauler is leveraged to give you a hand.  For women who hunt on their own this is the product for you.  Please don't be too proud to admit that every great once in a while we do need a mans help.  If not, good luck dragging a 200 lb. monster all by yourself.

Check out the product for yourself @ www.thegamehauler.com and on Twitter @TheGameHauler
