Description

This hearty Crock Pot Venison Barbecue transforms tough cuts of deer meat into fork-tender morsels bathed in a deep, savory sauce. The combination of red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce tenderizes the venison while adding a complex, umami-rich backbone. Sweet molasses and ketchup balance the acidity, creating a classic barbecue flavor profile that is both smoky and tangy. Finished with crumbled crispy bacon, this dish offers a delightful textural contrast. It is an ideal comfort food for cold evenings, game day gatherings, or busy weeknights when you want a flavorful meal that practically makes itself. Serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or on a toasted bun for a satisfying experience the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the venison stew meat, diced onion, and chopped garlic cloves into the slow cooker insert.
  2. Pour the red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce over the meat and vegetables.
  3. Sprinkle the Lawrey's Natural Choice seasoning evenly over the mixture.
  4. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, then cover the slow cooker.
  5. Cook on high heat for 2 hours, or on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, until the venison is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. While the meat cooks, fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain and crumble or chop into small pieces.
  7. Once the venison is tender, add the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, and crumbled bacon to the slow cooker.
  8. Stir well to incorporate the sauce ingredients and bacon bits.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot over rice, potatoes, or on toast.
