Italian Venison Stew is a hearty combination of venison meat, vegetables, and mushrooms. This thick stew is great served with bread or over-baked potatoes.

The second time we made this particular stew, we were filming a cooking segment for an outdoor TV show. We had just purchased new pans for the event and nearly had disastrous results when we discovered one pan was almost too small for the ingredients.

All went well and once the stew cooked down, filled the pan just right. Once the show aired, we received emails from around the country, praising this recipe.
