If you have a hunter in the family you are going to love this recipe for Crock-Pot Venison Roast! The venison pot roast & vegetables come out super tender!

Crock-Pot Venison Roast

Slow Cooker Venison Roast

Here is a recipe for all you hunters or wives of hunters! Submitted by reader Kari M. is this fantastic recipe for Venison pot roast cooked right in your slow cooker!

This is a classic recipe for venison roast with yellow potatoes, carrots, celery and onion.

A packet of onion soup mix and some fresh thyme add some fantastic flavor to this roast.

Fresh thyme goes well with the venison meat and it helps hide that “gamey” flavor that venison tends to have.

And best of all, this is one of those recipes that you can let cook away pretty much all day on low heat so that you don’t have to babysit it. Just prep your veggies and throw everything in the pot.

When it comes time for dinner you can dish it up right out of the slow cooker or plate it up on a pretty serving platter and get all fancy.

You can also make a gravy from the liquid in the slow cooker to pour all over your roast and potatoes.

If that is your sort of thing!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the best cut of venison roast to use in this recipe?

Each hunter processes their deer meat a little bit differently and the cuts of roast that they end up with may vary. That being said this recipe will work for just about any cut of venison roast. The low and slow cooking process will yield a tender roast when cooked no matter what cut of venison roast you use.

Can I cut this recipe in half?

If you have a smaller venison roast than the 3 pound size called for in this recipe you can easily cut this recipe in half. You may want to reduce the cooking time by about 1 hour depending on how your brand of slow cooker cooks. Start with 5 hours on LOW and cook longer if needed.

Can I add other vegetables to this venison roast recipe?

Yes, feel free to add other root vegetables to this recipe such as parsnips, turnips or rutabaga along with or as a substitution for the potatoes and carrots.

    3 Pounds Venison Roast

    1.5 Ounces Onion Soup Mix –1 Cup Water
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or until the roast is easily chunked apart into serving pieces with a fork.
  • To serve, carefully remove roast from slow cooker and place on a serving platter, using a slotted spoon arrange the cooked vegetables from the slow cooker around the meat. Garnish with additional sprig of fresh thyme (optional).
    2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme

Notes

If you would like you can easily make a wonderful gravy out of the liquid remaining in the slow cooker. Simply strain the liquid using a fine mesh strainer into a medium saucepan. Heat the liquid over medium-high heat until simmering. While the liquid is heating mix together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 4 tablespoons cold water with a fork until there are no lumps. Once the liquid in the pan is simmering gently stir in the flour and water mixture and continuously stir while cooking until the liquid begins to thicken (about 3 to 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and transfer gravy to a gravy boat for serving over the roast and vegetables.

    I found a package of venison tenderloin in my freezer from last year..thawed it overnight dug up some new Yukon Gold & red potatoes, small carrots, a few small yellow onions and snipped a couple thyme stems from my garden..threw in the celery stalk and diced garlic..am now enjoying the smell of it wafting thru the house..can’t wait to try..it sounds so good and was so easy to prepare. Lovely recipe, thank you!

    Do you start with frozen or thawed venison?

    Reply
    • Crock-Pot Ladies says

      August 22, 2020 at 7:59 AM

      You could do either Cyndee. If using frozen give it an extra hour or so cooking time to account for using frozen venison.

      This recipe hasn’t been tested using a pressure cooker so I’m not sure. Sorry!

    If I have a smaller roast would I need to cut the cook time in half? It’s about 1 lb and 10 oz, seems pretty tough still after 5 hours, don’t want to fry it out either though(if that’s a thing) I’ve been trying out new deer meat recipes because usually we just do ground meat or sausage but we did a lot more this year!

      Hi Dakota, I don’t think you want to cut the recipe in half. Maybe by an hour or so but not in half.

      Hi Anna, the potatoes should come out nice and tender and not starchy.

    Thanks for posting this recipe! A friend waa given 2.2 kbs of Axus meat. Opted for the homemade onion mix. Added more onion powder. Used garlic powder. Added a teaspoon of Tony’s cajun spice. About halfway through the cook, added some black lager beer. Extremely happy with the results!

      Sorry Donna that you did not find this recipe to have enough flavor. Individual taste preferences can vary greatly so we understand if this recipe is just not for you. You can of course modify the recipe by adding extra seasonings and flavors to make it more of something that suits your personal needs.
