Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Venison Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.
Step 1
Start by heating a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon.
Step 2
Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet, crumble it into bite-sized pieces, and set it aside for later.
Step 4
In the same skillet, let the rich bacon grease work its magic by browning the venison stew meat.
Step 5
This step not only enhances the flavor but also adds a delightful depth to your dish.
Step 6
Next, grab your slow cooker and combine the chopped onion, brown sugar, wine vinegar, ground cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and ketchup.
Step 7
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper! Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed and ready to shine together.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to add the crumbled bacon and the beautifully browned venison to the slow cooker.
Step 9
Stir everything together until it’s all evenly combined, creating a mouthwatering mixture that promises to be delicious.
Step 10
Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on low heat for at least 8 hours.
Step 11
This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the meat to become incredibly tender.
Step 12
When you’re ready to serve, simply use a fork to shred the meat into a thick, Sloppy Joe-style barbecue filling that’s perfect for sandwiches or on its own.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the comforting flavors of this hearty dish!.
