Slow Cooker BBQ Venison Sandwiches image

This shredded barbecue venison will give any shredded pork a run for its money! It is exquisitely tender and flavorful, and the use of the sweet barbecue sauce perfectly complements the flavor of the venison.

Provided by jsp1073

Categories     Venison Recipes

Time 21m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons minced onion
3 tablespoons garlic powder
2 ½ tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 pounds boneless venison roast
4 cups water
1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory and brown sugar barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®), divided
16 (2 ounce) kaiser rolls, split

Steps:

  • Mix onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Use a knife to cut small scores on both sides of venison roast, then tenderize all over with a blade-style meat tenderizer. Rub spice mixture all over roast.
  • Pour water into a slow cooker and set temperature to High. Place roast in the center of the slow cooker; it's okay if some of the spice mixture comes loose in the water. Cover and cook until you can easily pull the roast in half using a knife and fork, about 3 hours.
  • Drizzle 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over roast. Continue to cook on High until venison is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, 3 to 3 1/2 more hours.
  • Turn slow cooker to Warm. Remove excess water. Shred roast using a knife and fork.
  • Return meat to the slow cooker and stir in the remaining barbecue sauce.
  • Serve shredded meat and sauce on rolls.
