Recipe Tips

• Can I use frozen venison? Yes, but thaw it completely before cooking for best texture.
• What if I don’t have ranch mix? Use a homemade blend of dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill.
• How to thicken the sauce: Remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to let some moisture evaporate.
• What if my venison is dry? Cooking too long or slicing too thin can cause dryness—check at the 5-hour mark.
