My wife makes deer roast and steaks in the crock pot with stewed tomatos,a couple cans of mushrooms,1/2 can of tomato juice, 1 green bellpepper,onions,salt and pepper. Can add any thing else to your liking. Serve over steamed noodles or rice, I like the noodles the best,boy is it good. Have it every year at deer camp and no one turns it down. Zeak
