Good Ol' American Cookin'

I have shared a lot of stew recipes such as: Burger Stew ,  Pork Stew . I usually get asked how to make something with Venison. One of my stand bys is Venison Stew in the crock pot or the cast iron bean pot on the wood stove.  Recipe: Add to the crock or stew pot 1 lb. Venison Cubes, fresh or frozen, uncooked and 1 large onion 2 qts of canned potatoes-this is what I have in my pantry but you can use canned from the store or fresh(add to crock and cook until soft) 1 cup of corn, frozen, fresh, canned 1 qt. tomato/okra mix (optional) OR 1 qt green beans OR  1 qt tomato sauce 2 tbls of Montreal Steak Seasoning 3/4-1 qt water-add enough to finish filling the pot  Turn crock on high and cook for about 3-4 hrs..or longer if the meat is tough. ***Idea....put together the night before and turn on before leaving for work then come home for lunch to turn it off or down to low should still be warm upon your return in the evening.Note you cou...

TRADITIONAL BEEF ROAST     In a large oven proof pot add a couple tbls of oil/bacon grease to brown the meat on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and add one large cut up onion, 2 Tbls of diced garlic, 2 large pinches of herb seasoning. and 1 tsp of pepper. At this point, if you have fresh potatoes(cut up) and carrots (cut up) add now along with 6 cups of water with 3 cubes/3 tsp. of bouillon, depending on the size of your roast, ours was small. If you have canned goods , open jars, drain and add to the water. Add the meat too!  Put the whole pot in a 350* oven for an hour or until your roast is done....

BURGER STEW Some may call this soup, it isn't thick by no means but it is filling! There is a lot of goodies.... In a large pot fry up some burger with onions, green peppers, a couple TBLs of garlic. Cook until burger is done...now add either canned potatoes or fresh chopped potatoes, green beans or corn, and canned tomatoes.I added a tomato juice for my liquid but you can just add water instead. Depending on family size start with 1lb of burger for 2-3 up to 3lbs for 10+ people. This is a great dish to experiment with.....add different vegies to the potatoes and meat. Be sure to test taste for salt and seasonings.....This is a really tasty soup and fills a person up! Makes a great leftover too! Add rolls for your side dish.....
