I added a little more than 1/2 cup red wine and a handful of sliced fresh mushrooms to this recipe, and it was FABULOUS! No-one could tell it was venison (which is helpful, as my sister refuses to eat it!)

Wow! I just made this recipe and I am THRILLED with the results. I used 2 cans reduced fat cream of celery soup rather than the mushroom because of family tastes. I also added 1/2 soup can of water and I sprinkled in about 1 tsp of beef bouillon granules. I also added carrots and potatoes and omitted the onion soup mix. As others mentioned, I used the real onions and real garlic. The gravy was incredible. I found myself sneaking out some potatoes before it was supper time. Next time I'll be sure to add more. This was a roast from a small deer and it was very tender. (I did soak in milk overnight.) I will never let my husband tease me for harvesting a small deer again. This meal makes up for it!

I soaked my roast overnight in milk to help tenderize and also I have been told that it makes it less "gamey" tasting. I omitted the soy and worchestire sauces and added carrots, tators and a can of corn later in cooking and it was a home run! My husband loved it!

This is the first review I've ever written on this site. This recipe was SO good!! I've only recently began to eat venison (bf is a hunter). The first recipe I tried was just ok, but this changed my mind about venison. Bf says its the best he's ever had!! I too used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt and added a few red potatoes. Next time I will add some mushrooms and carrots. This is a new staple recipe in our house. Thanks!!

I'm giving only 4 stars due to the changes I made....This was a wonderful "base" recipie that was easy to adjust. I adjusted as follows: No Soy or Worchestishire sauces and substitute garlic powder or crushed garlic for the garlic salt. Salting venison will lead to dry meat.....even from the crock pot. Next I only used 1/4 to 1/2 of the soup mix (also because of salt content)and substituted cream of celery soup due to a mushroom allergy in the family. I used this modified recipie to cook two-2.5 lb rump roasts and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD YUMMY! Moist, tender meat with flavour galore :) I did have to prepare my vegies (carrots, celery, tatos) in a pot on the stove due to lack of room in the crock pot, but that was fine. The soup makes a WONDERFUL gravy in the end. I did thicken it slightly w/ corn starch, but only a tad. Everyone loved the meal and today THANKSGIVING) I have been elected to attempt it again:) This time I have a 10lb venison rump roast, so I am doing it in the oven. I'll let ya know ;)****UPDATE**** The 10lb Runp Roast was.....well let's just say it's TOO BIG a piece of venison! I was forced to cook it in the oven due to it not fitting in my slow cooker. I still used this recipe and the gravy was again fantastic. The roast's flavour was good, but such a large cut of meat requires more cooking time than the moisture could take and it was dry. So stick with the smaller roasts :)

This is the most awesome slow cooker recipe. My family and I loved it! The venison was extremely tender and the taste was outstanding! Instead of garlic salt, I put in minced garlic instead. I also put in about 1/3 cup of water just for some extra liquid. Will definitely be making this again!!

I couldn't brave the meal but the boys sure liked it! I used low sodium cream of mushroom soup, one can of water, half a packet of onion soup and put in potatos, celery, and carrots. It turned out really soft. I don't know if it's just the meat or if it cooked too long. Thanks for the recipe! I would have been clueless!

Very well recieved just thought a bit too much salt, used fresh garlic and omitted onion soup, next time might use oion soup instead of fresh onion, as they didn't seem to cook too well.

I made this yesterday for my boyfriend, who loves venison, and he said it was the best venison recipe he's ever tasted! I didn't have the onion soup mix, so I omitted that and switched garlic powder for garlic salt and just added a few mushrooms in with the onions. I made mashed potatoes to go with the gravy. I'll definitely be getting a lot of requests for this, thanks for the great recipe!

I made this recipe on Saturday. It was every easy. Already had everything on hand. I threw it in the crock pot, let it cook for about 6 hours, added a can of sliced mushrooms. Cooked another hour and served with rice. Great! I will add this to my list of favorites. Thanks for sharing.

I followed some of the suggestions - added red wine, used real garlic, 3 tabledspoons, and left out the soy sauce. I used deer stew meat (2 packages, added carrots, and quartered fresh mushrooms. It was delicious! Add some corn muffins for a really good combination!

Great! The only thing I did different was using garlic powder instead of garlic salt and a half soup can of water. Next time, I will use less water. I did not find this recipe too salty as some people did. Will definitely cook this again!

Very good! The meat was nice and juicy. My only complaint was how salty it was. It really wasn't that bad, but it was pushing too much. I did follow the suggestions of other cooks' comments, and added one can of water. I also added a bit of flour to thicken up the gravy, which solved that problem. I also added mushrooms and carrots, which I thought, really completed the meal. Overall, this was a success!

This is a delicious way to cook a venison roast, but there has to be a way to make it more moist. I just can't figure it out. It's such a lean meat, it always feels dry to me. I don't blame that on the recipe so much as the animal. I can't wait to try this with a beef roast.

We really enjoyed this recipe...followed some others' suggestions to reduce the saltiness and it helped, the end product was great. I did make a few changes...used Beefy Mushroom condensed soup in place of the Onion soup mix (we don't care for it) so there was much more sauce than there should have been. Used a little cornstarch/cold water to thicken it up, added a little sour cream and served it with the venison over egg noodles as a stroganoff. Will definitely save this recipe.

I first made this for a venison roast I had. I did not care for the venison, but loved this recipe! I have since used it many times for pork roast with some very slight changes. Used low sodium cr. of mushroom soup and soy sauce. I sprinkle black pepper and crushed rosemary on the meat, brown it, deglaze the pan with a little red wine, then pour all that in too. The gravy is a good consistency. Normally slow cooker meals make very watery gravy. This is a great recipe and so easy!!

Good enough. Nice sauce (maybe try w/beef) as venison still tasted a tiny bit gamey.

Very nice recipe, I marinate the roast in one cup white vinegar and enough water to cover plus one tbs salt overnite. This will remove the gamey taste unless thats what you like.
