Slow Cooked Venison!

I'm sure I've said before that we eat a lot of deer in this house. I will use the ground venison in just about anything, but I'm a lot slower to use the roasts. I'm just not that big a fan of deer roast because I think it tends to taste really gamey, no matter how much onion you use. But I found this recipe for venison that you cook in the crock pot, which is even better! I know there are a ton of venison roast recipes out there, but this is my favorite because it honestly does not taste like deer. It doesn't have any gamey taste, at least, when this is cooked right. If I don't measure the ingredients, I don't use as much, and it tastes gamey. But when I follow it, it turns out pretty well! I double the original recipe, so if you want to try the original yourself, cut everything in half. Also, the original calls for chile-garlic sauce, but I use the sweet chile sauce instead because it's less spicy (both are found in with Asian foods).

Slow-Cooked Venison

1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
3 lb. venison roast
1 c ketchup
1/2 c Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c sweet chile sauce
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
2/3 c water
3 tsp salt
2 Tbsp pepper

Place venison roast in a slow cooker and sprinkle with the onion and minced garlic. In a medium bowl, stir together all other ingredients. Pour over the venison. Cover & cook on low until tender and no longer pink, about 4-5 hours.
