I forgot to thaw my roast so I mixed the taco seasoning and cayenne pepper with the water and poured it over my frozen roast. At the end of the day it shredded easily! We hunt mule deer, and I understand they have a stronger taste than whitetail, which it what I assume most venison recipes are made for. That is why I gave this recipe four stars--the meat was pretty strong, but as I said, I believe that was the deer and not the recipe.

Very tender, although bland, it was still good. I would not have thought of using venison for tacos before seeing this recipe. Thanks for sharing! Would consider making again, but would want to add more seasoning,etc.

This was really very good! I would have added more seasoning as I thought it was bland, but my family raved about it the way it was. Definately a keeper!!

This was so easy and wonderfully amazing! I was looking for a new way to cook venison, and this is now my favorite way to cook venison.

This was good. Although I didn't brown the meat ahead of time, no need - it still fell apart after 8 hours of cooking! It didn't have as much taco flavor as I was looking forward to (but that's what made my husband love it!). Still very good and very easy!

I used a backstrap cut into small chunks so that it would cook faster. This was super-easy and delicious!

I loved this recipe! I have made it twice, the second time I used more taco seasoning to make in more spicy. After pulling the meat apart I mix it with barbecue sauce, then serve it on soft taco shells with cheese and sour cream, very good! My husband doesn't generally like venision, but this has quickly become one of his favorite recipes!

This was awesome!! The recipe was very easy to put together. I made this for my sister-in-law and her family and used it to stuff burritos with all of the fixings. They couldn't even tell it was venison! Thanks so much!

the seasonings were excellent but the water dilluted the taste, so it is not perfect but close.

Great recipe! Next time I think I will add a little more taco seasoning, some taco sauce, a little garlic, or some salsa for more flavor. My husband and niece LOVED them (she's 3 and usually NOT a big meat eater). The texture was perfect. Thanks!
