Description
This recipe for Venison-Morel Stroganoff fun play on beef stroganoff uses two Wisconsin favorites, morel mushrooms, and venison to make a new fun Wisconsin version of a classic stroganoff.
Ingredients
- 1–2 lbs venison (see NOTES 1 for substitutes)
- 1 lb morel mushrooms (see NOTES 2 for substitutes)
- 6 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 4–5 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef bone broth [split into 3 cups and 1 cup] (see NOTES 3 for substitutions)
- 8 oz sour cream
- 2–3 cups half and half
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt (to taste)
- freshly ground black pepper [to taste]
- 1 – 12 oz bag egg noodles (see NOTES 4 for substitutes)
Instructions
Venison directions
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- Prep the Venison with salt and freshly ground black pepper (I used about 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper)
- Sear the venison in an oven-safe pot as you. Once seared on all sides, pour 1 cup of broth and cover the venison.
- Bake for 4-5 hours. (You can also cook this in a slow cooker on Medium/high for the same amount of time with about a cup of broth.)
- Once it’s done cooking, it should easily break apart. Tear/cut apart the venison and add it and its juice to the sauce (directions below).
Sauce Directions
- In a stock pot on medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter (reserve the other 2 tbsp for the mushrooms) at a low-medium temp, add the onion into the melted butter, cooking and stirring until the onions become translucent.
- Add the garlic cloves, Worcestershire sauce, and mushrooms, cooking until heated through
- Add flour and stir to coat everything and creat a thick lumpy paste.
- Slowly add the 3 cups of broth and continue stirring and cooking until thick.
- slowly add the half and half, take breaks in between to stir, and ensure that it’s completely incorporated.
- Let it simmer at low-medium heat until thickened to a gravy-like consistency. Add the sour cream and salt, pepper, or additional Worcestershire sauce to taste.
When you’re ready to serve cook the noodles and put them onto a platter or bowl of your choice. Then, pour the sauce over, mix, and ENJOY!!

Storage
If you have leftover sauce & meat (no Noodles), you can freeze it for another time! When you’re ready to eat, heat up on medium (you might have to have a 1/2 cup of milk to it, and a pinch of salt). Then, just cook up some noodles and add them to the sauce.
