Crock Pot Venison Roast

Submitted by hoosiersmoker

"This is a savory, melt in your mouth and easy way to make an amazing venison roast. It seems like a lot of butter but a lean roast needs the fat to help it tenderize. This one always gets rave reviews. It's great when served over mashed potatoes as it makes LOTS of gravy."

I really liked the mushroom and onion flavor of this pot roast recipe. I did add a 1/2 stick of butter but did not add any liquids other than the cream of portabella mushroom. The resulting gravy was very flavorful and the venison was tender. Absolutely delicious served with garlic mashed potatoes!
