HOW LONG DO YOU COOK THE FRONT SHOULDER IN YOUR CROCK POT?

I cook venison in the crock pot until it falls apart! I’ll put a roast in and usually cook it for at least 8 hours. I’ve been known to cook it up to 12 hours if that’s what it takes to get it fall off the bone tender. There is an additional secret to make slow-cooked venison the best it can be.  That secret is to add plenty of liquid! I use enough chicken broth or beef broth to just about cover the meat. That’s usually about 16 ounces. Then if necessary I add water to top it off to just barely cover the meat. Then throw in your favorite herbs: salt, pepper, garlic, basil, onion, oregano, etc.  Then sometimes I add carrots and potatoes on top and you have yourself a nice meal! Enjoy! – Tracy
