What You Need

• 3 pounds cubed venison or deer meat
• 1/4 cups bacon drippings
• 1 minced garlic clove

• 2 bay leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 4 quartered carrots
• 1 jar small white onions
• 2 pounds cubed potatoes
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

How to Make It

Rinse, drain and cut or cube the meat, garlic cloves, onions, carrots and potatoes and accordingly. Set the vegetables aside until needed.

Brown the cubed venison or deer meat in your dutch oven using a little of the bacon drippings. Add drippings as needed while browning the meat. Add just enough water to cover the meat. Add the minced garlic clove, sliced onions, bay leaves, salt, pepper, allspice, carrots, small white onions, cubed potatoes, and Worcestershire sauce.

Stir and cover with lid. Place in a 350 degree oven. Or you can cook this while camping. Stir occasionally. Add more water if necessary. Thickening the gravy is easy when you add a bit of flour with a small amount of water to form a smooth paste and then slowly add it into the stew by stirring until well combined.
