*** Basic Slow Cooker Recipe ***
For a basic recipe using a slow cooker, you will need 1 pound of venison, 1 cup of uncooked brown rice, 2 to 4 potatoes or sweet potatoes and 2 cups of chopped vegetables such as carrots or broccoli. Place 6 cups of water or beef broth into the slow cooker. Add the rice, potatoes and vegetables. Add ground venison or chop your venison steaks into bite-size pieces before adding. Turn your slow cooker on. At the low setting, this meal cooks for 6 to 8 hours. Adjust to the high setting for a cooking time of 4 to 6 hours. Allow the meal to cool before serving. Divide the remainder into serving sizes and store in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for later serving
*** Deer Meat ***
Olive oil or baking spray
5 pounds ground venison or venison chunks
2 cans chicken broth, 50 oz each
4 cups water
3 pounds corn, frozen; or 3 cans of corn, 16 oz
3 pounds uncooked brown rice
1. Pour enough olive oil in the pan to coat the bottom, or spray it thoroughly with baking spray to protect the ingredients from sticking during cooking. Turn the burner to medium high.
2. Add the venison to the pan. Stir the meat frequently with a wooden spoon to cook all sides until browned.
3. Add the chicken broth, water and corn. Raise the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Pour in the brown rice and mix it into the fluid. Cover the pan and return the mixture to a boil.
5. Turn the burner back to low. Simmer the mixture for an hour, keeping it covered. Stir occasionally to make sure it is not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
6. Remove the pan from the heat. Allow the dog food to cool overnight in a refrigerator before feeding any to your dog. Portions can be microwaved for a brief time to warm them.
7. Place additional servings in plastic bags or containers and freeze
