Genesis 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;

Genesis 27:31 And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.

I live in a household with 3 boys/men!  So, hunting is something that they take part in often.

Deer (venison) hunting is probably their favorite animal to hunt.

So, it isn’t uncommon that we are overstocked with deer meat!

In fact, deer burger is the only type of burger we have in our freezer!  We also have deer sausage(compliments of Kirby and Poe Slaughter House), deer jerky, deer loin and deer roast.

Plus, venison is a very lean meat and is much better for you than cow or pig!

Following is one of my favorite ways to prepare a deer roast and it’s always a hit at the supper table.

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds venison roast

1 package Au Jus Gravy

Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Place roast in crock pot.

Salt and pepper to taste and cover with water.

Cook on low 8-10 hours or until tender.

Remove from crock pot and let cool.

Once the roast is cooled, shred into pieces into a baking dish.

Prepare Au Jus Gravy according to package directions using the flour method.

Pour Au Jus over the roast.  Stir until all roast is covered.

Cover and place in a 350° oven.  Bake until bubbly.

Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans and cornbread!  Yummy!
