savory, rural taste. You might not even finish the soup because the bread tastes so wonderful in the liquid!

Ingredients
- 3 pounds cubed venison
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups browning sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley
- 2 large bay leaves
- 1 ½ tablespoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 4 medium red potatoes, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) package baby bella mushrooms, halved
- ½ medium white onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups egg noodles
- ¼ tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Toss venison in flour to coat.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry venison in the butter until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer venison to a slow cooker. Pour red wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let wine reduce by half, then add to the slow cooker.
- Add water, beef broth, browning sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, thyme, oregano, parsley, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Simmer on Low for 2 hours.
- Stir in potatoes, mushrooms, onion, and carrots; simmer on Low for 3 more hours.
- When the stew is almost finished, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Remove about 1/4 cup broth from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Whisk cornstarch into the broth, then pour the mixture into the slow cooker. Stir and let thicken. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Serve stew in a bowl over egg noodles.

Reviews
Followed this exact except 2c browning sauce (or, kitchen bouquet). 2c sounded way too much. Instead used a couple TBLS. This makes a LOT but is really good. It made so much that we made one night with egg noodles (per recipe) and the next, reheated and served with mashed potatoes. I know the dish has potatoes IN it but, a personal preference, we liked served with mashed potatoes better. Good recipe Brian! And deep flavors! Would make again! Thank you!
