Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb venison backstrap or other red meat, still frozen
  • 1 qt home canned Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 qt home canned whole tomatoes
  • 1 onion peeled and cut into rings
  • 3 - 4 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 4 tsp homemade beef bouillon
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 c sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Put the venison in the crockpot frozen.
  • Slice the onion into rings and spread over the meat. Add the minced garlic, the peeled and sliced carrots, and the herbs and seasonings.
  • Add the potatoes. If you are using home canned potatoes, don't rinse them first. The starch will thicken the gravy. If you are using fresh potatoes, peel and chop about 3 medium-sized ones and put them into the pot.
  • Pour the tomatoes on top of everything. I used a quart (actually 2 pints, but it's the same thing) of tomatoes with the juice. You can use the equivalent amount of tomato products of your choice.
  • And last but not least, throw the bay leaf in.
  • Put on the cover and set to high.
  • When you are ready to serve it, cut up the meat, add the sour cream, and blend til combined.

Notes

I like to serve this with some warm crusty sourdough bread and garlic butter. And if there's any leftovers, it makes a great filling for a pot pie!
