Country Style Venison Stew

Directions

Cut bacon into 1 inch cubes and sauté in large saucepan until lightly browned.

Remove and set aside.

Cut venison into 1½ or 2” pieces and brown over high heat in 4 tablespoon bacon drippings.

Stir in flour. Lower heat and let brown 2 to 3 minutes, stirring several times. Add liquid and let it simmer 1 hour or more until venison begins to get tender, add more liquid as necessary. Add all the other ingredients, except peas, and continue to simmer to make a thick stew. Simmer peas in a separate pan until done. Strain and spoon over or around stew when served. Great accompanied by buttered corn muffins and a salad.
