I was really disappointed with this recipe - after reading all the rave reviews I was excited to try this out on my 'hunter' husband. We cook with venison and elk quite a bit. It was easy to prepare, but after cooking so long - I think it ruined a perfectly good cut of meat. The sauce was not that great either. We both love venison and elk - might be a good use for stew meat - but not a good roast (unless you are trying to completely mask the flavor of the meat?). sorry!

This was AWESOME! I made it for my mom, Dad, children (3 under 5), husband and sister-in-law, and they all thought it was the best roast they ever had. The next day for dinner, I shredded the meat and poured gravy over rice as someone had suggested, and that alone was just amazing! I did add a cup 1/2 of water AND low sodium soy sauce. I also used 1 tsp garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Then, I doubled the recipe to make enough for all 8 of us with leftovers.

Didn't change a thing. Used the gravy over mashed potatoes and everyone loved it. Even the picky eater. Will make again.

I give this 5 stars because of the ease of preparation along with a very good taste. I like to add potatoes around the roast, topped with baby carrots and then covered with sliced onions!

This is absolutely delicious. I served it at a New Year's Eve party and it was a hit! I can't believe how easy it was to make. Very moist and tender too.

The family was disappointed in this dish. It was extremely salty so if I make it again, I would use fresh garlic and not garlic salt.

My husband loved this recipe and wished he could eat the whole thing in one sitting. The gravy it makes he ate over rice and couldn't put it down.

I really don't care too much for venison but after making this recipe for my husband I love it. My husbands friends at work now beg me to make this recipe anytime we have a venison roast.

Well, I sort of complety changed this but not on purpose. I thawed out what I thought was "chuck" roast but instead it was "chunks" of venison. So I mixed some flour with cayenne, garlic pwd, blk pepper, and oregano an tossed the chunks of venison in it to coat. Then browned on two sides in a hot pan of butter. I took previous reviewers ideas and deglazed the pan with some red wine. Added some fresh mushrooms, potatoes and carrots to the crockpot and it turned out wonderfully. I suppose my version is a little more of a hunter's stew though.

Living with two avid hunters I always have plenty of venison in the freezer. I personally, do not care much for it, unless however it is cooked in a manner that I do not know what it is! I am not alone in this feeling. My children take my side. Venison tends to taste "wild" if you do not have a great recipe. This is a GREAT recipe! We did not tell the kids what it was until after they all had thirds!! They were shocked as was I. This was a very tasty and easy. We will make this many time in the future. Thanks so much! Now maybe I can clean out the freezer!

It's rare for me to come across a slow cooker recipe that's actually as good as it says it is. THIS ONE IS IT! It turned out perfect and I'm no gourmet cooker. The venison was so tender and just melted in my mouth. This is one of my fiance's favorite meals.

I made this with an elk roast, and it was wonderful! I browned the roast in oil and butter in the pan first, deglazed the pan with some red wine, and added that nice sauce to the crock pot as well. I also added some rosemary. I love how the soup makes its own gravy! This was super good!

We served this with Christmas dinner. Even though everyone was stuffed with the main course (goose), everyone still raved about the venison. The only change was I had to leave out the Worcestershire sauce because I didn't have any. Review update: Christmas 2006, I made this again, but found it very salty. I was confused as to why, but then realised that ironically, I used a better cut of meat. It was also farmed, rather than hunted venison. So, there was less fat and less liquid (in the form of added water) to dilute the salty seasonings. So, while I still think this is a good recipe, in future I will be careful to ensure there is enough liquid to dilute the salt. Also, because I personally don't like a lot of salt, I would probably not use garlic salt again - instead either fresh garlic or garlic powder.
