I’ve never found a stew recipe that I really liked.  I tried this one and it was pretty darn good!  I like nice and easy recipes with a few ingredients.  Will definitely make it again!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb venison, cut in 1 inch chunks
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 inch chunks
• 1 small onion, chopped in large pieces
• 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, whole
• 1 cup carrot, cut in lengths of about 2 inches
• 2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon oregano
• salt and pepper

1. 1 In a medium frying pan, fry venison and onion, just enough to sear the outside of the meat.
2. 2 Put all ingredients, except the flour, salt and pepper in a slow cooker or crock pot.
3. 3 Allow to cook on high for about 5 hours.
4. 4 Add flour and salt and pepper to taste.
5. 5 Cook for another 5-7 hours on low.
6. 6 You can leave it on low for several hours over and above the cooking time, which will allow the stew to become thicker and the meat more tender to your personal liking
