The son-in-law hunts and got himself a nice buck. I want him to use all the meat so he gives me some. This deer gave me ground venison and stew meat. So I made a stew.

Stews are simply soups with larger cuts of meat and vegetables and less liquid. They are super simple to make especially when using a crockpot.

• a pound (?) or packet of meat cut into stew sized chunks
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 stalks celery cut into chunks
• 6 small potatoes cut into chunks
• 6 parsnips cut into chunks
• 1 medium onion cut into chunks
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 cups water or more to almost cover
• 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved

Throw all this into the crockpot and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Voila!
