simple, slow cooked foods are best

I've also found that stews are better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to blend over night.

Last evening I did the same thing for dinner. I tossed 1lb of deer tenderloin, 2 potatoes sliced, 1/2 of a large onion, and a handful of baby carrots in a covered casserole dish with a little salt and pepper and 1/4 stick of butter. I let that bake for 2 hours on 350 and WOW! Good stuff!:thumbup:

...that technique is about as simple as it gets (and when camping i rarely do any complicated cooking): meat, veggies on the bottom, seasoned, and liquid in a deep pot and lid, started in the morning and left to fester till dinner time...at home it's best done in a crockpot...my favorite is to do it with beef shanks as they need long slow cooking to break down...
 
We need more camp meal threads. Or maybe we don't; I wasn't hungry until I opened this one. Looks awesome.
 
Here's a killer crockpot Venison BBQ. I'm sure it would taste even better over a campfire.

Ingredients:

• 3 lb venison stew meat
• 1 cup diced onion
• 4-5 cloves chopped garlic
• 1 Cup red wine vinegar
• ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp lawreys natural choice seasoning for meat
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 lb good bacon, fried and crumbled
• 2 cups of catsup
• ½ cup molasses
• ½ cup packed brown sugar

1. Place venison garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lawreys seasoning in a 4-6 quart crock-pot.

2. Cook on high setting for 1-2 hours or until venison is tender.

3. Fry bacon crisp, cool, and crumble.

4. Add bacon, catsup, molasses, brown sugar, and vinegar to venison.

5. Turn crock-pot to low setting and simmer for 2-4 hours

6. Serve over white rice.

I pulled this out of a hunting magazine. I think its called "Kellys Crockpot Venison BBQ".

It's what I'm making for my extended family's Christmas party.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I gotta say I'm not really a fan of crockpot cooking. I'm more of a grilling or stir fry kinda guy. I like getting a good caramelizing effect on my food.

Brown it first then put it in the crockpot. The browning/caramelization really adds to the end flavor.--KV

...browning first does make a taste difference...the crockpot excels at 2 things; making tough, cheap cuts of meats tender, and no-hassle complete meals (put everything in the morning, all done in the evening; or around 4hrs if on HI)...
