This Slow Cooker Paleo Venison Stew is super hearty, healthy & delicious! Especially perfect for a cold rainy day. Prep it in the morning & it will be done by dinner time.
Deer Season has been underway & we have plenty of venison. I feed my 3 German Shepherds a raw diet so they get it too. They love it probably more than we do. LOL So it’s been cold & rainy & I was craving a hearty stew.
I love soups & stews especially when it’s cold & rainy. And even better in the slow cooker. That way dinner is ready whenever we are ready to eat. Saves so much time during the week. Also cooking Venison in the Slow Cooker makes the meat sooo tender.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. Venison Cubed into 1 in. pieces
- 1 med. organic onion chopped
- 2-3 stalks organic celery chopped
- 3-4 organic carrots chopped
- 3-4 organic potatoes peeled & cubed

- optional 1 can of organic diced tomatoes (leave out for AIP)
- 1-2 Tbs. tapioca starch to make a slurry for thickening (optional)
Directions:
- Heat Oil in a large Skillet (I use a Black Iron Skillet) to med-high heat.
- Add Venison, minced garlic, salt & pepper (if using) & sautee until browning.
- Heat Slow Cooker on High Heat while Venison is browning
