Shredded Venison, BBQ's featuring Wildtree's Sloppy Joe Seasoning

Got venison? Not a fan of the wild game taste or perhaps looking for creative usages for the rather dry roasts? I did a little freestyle cooking again this weekend and found another kid-pleasing recipe and my venison was flavorful, no wild game taste and juicy! I have to preface this to say, I used the slow cooker for 8 hours the day before to cook and then shred the meat. However this recipe would work great as a leftover recycle or if you have a weekend and some time ~ start from the beginning! Sure, I could have dumped straight BBQ sauce into the shredded meat, but I found it more fun to experiment with my Wildtree staples to see what would happen! Your sure can use standard beef roast instead of vension.

Shredded Venison Roast (basic recipe) / 8 1/2 hours:
1 venison roast
1 package dry beef or onion soup/dip mix
8 cups water

-- allow roast to "rest" at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking; resting allows the enzymes in the meat to relax (after being chilled) and contributes to meat that is so much more tender
-- Place roast in crock pot; mix soup mix with 4 c. water and pour over roast; add additional 4 c. water or until roast is covered.
-- 7 1/2 to 8 hours on low
-- turn off crock pot, remove lid, let sit for 20-30 minutes
-- shred meat with forks
