This was the first venison roast we prepared and this recipe worked very well...we will be having this one again!<br/><br/>[We did decide to cover it with aluminum foil and basted it a couple of time just to ensure it didn't get dried out on the top/edges.]

Tasty and SOOO EASY!!!! This could be done with beef, pork or another wild meat. I used a lovely venison neck. I had no bacon fat, so I just put some canola in the bottom of the pan. I was a little heavy handed with the spices. My tomato juice was actually a V-8 as it was on hand. Since my neck was only about 3 lbs, I just cooked it for 2 hours, covered. That was plenty. I had a potato however this would be great over big wide egg noodles!!!! I really love this! The next night I made another half batch of the sauce......it is just so good. I added all the leftover meat to it so the flavors would meld well. I will have it over noodles tonight.
