Venison Stew

Submitted by Kim127

"This is the man's favorite stew recipe. I use a 5-quart crockpot and this recipe just fits in it. He prefers a thinner broth, so this isn't a thick, gravy like stew, but its a very tasty one!! His grandfather gave me the hint of adding cabbage to the stew, it definately enhances the flavor! Beef stew meat can also be substituted."

Excellent! Did not use Mrs. Dash, rutabaga, or cabbage. Flavor was amazing!!

Very simple recipe which I find makes the best stews. The one thing I find helpful with crock pot recipes is that you should heat the broth to just past "warm" before adding it to the crock. It cuts off a substantial amount of time keeping the slow cooker from having to warm the broth. It shaves about 30 minutes off of this recipe for me and since the water isn't hot enough to "cook" yet, it doesn't change the outcome of the flavor/tenderness.

This was well flavored & a nice crockpot recipe. We really enjoyed the addition of the turnips to the stew. It was something new to our standard stew, but really delicious. This does make a big batch and I froze the leftovers in containers. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

We really liked this, used elk and I didn't have any cabbage or rutabega but every thing else the same with one small addition. I added one cup of coffee to the broth believe it or not the coffee makes the broth heartier. Thank you will be making it this way from now on.

very good flavor,,, i did add turnip instead of rutabaga because i couldnt find one in the local market. also added 1/2 of leftover red wine . everyone loved it and it made the venison tender and not so gamey.... thanks for the recipe
