This vegetable venison stew is so easy anyone can make it.
One of the ultimate family favorites for my crew is this vegetable venison stew which includes ground venison and a combination of various garden vegetables.
Some may think it looks simple, and that's because it is. Sometimes we need a simple dinner meal that will fit in the slow cooker or Crock-Pot, cook for six to eight hours, and be ready when the work day is over.
This is one of those wild game recipes.

What's the difference between this venison vegetable stew recipe and a venison vegetable soup recipe? Arguably the difference is the amount of liquid in each recipe.
This vegetable venison stew recipe doesn't call for a whole lot of water simply because I like it more chunky. However, use as much water as you desire. Likewise, some people prefer other cuts for the venison stew meat like roast or tenderloin. It's not my preference, but to each their own.
