TASTY BISON STEW - YUP, THAT MEANS BUFFALO

I recently purchased some awesome gourmet meats at Custom Meats of Marathon, WI. One of my selections was a package of Bison Stew meat.

I had never cooked Bison Stew before, so before I jumped in I consulted online resources. I had an idea of what I wanted, but it never hurts to get some fresh input. And I did find one thing that sounded perfect to implement. The idea was to coat the Bison meat with a flour and spice mix before browning.

Browning the coated Bison Meat

So I grabbed a handy gallon plastic bag and put in maybe 1/2 cup of flour along with my spices of choice. You can use whatever you like, I used some celery salt, garlic pepper, and hand ground smoked maple seasoning.

I also diced 5 medium potatoes and 1/2 a medium onion. I took out my handy slow cooker and mixed in the browned Bison meat, potatoes, and onions with a cup of water. I also seasoned this with garlic salt, celery salt, bay leaf & dill weed. I turned the slow cooker to 80% heat for 3 hours. Finally, I mixed in one 16 oz package of frozen mixed vegetables and turned the slow cooker to 50% for another 3 hours.

I can tell you that my wife and daughter could not get enough of this Bison stew. Obviously we ate the whole batch. I will be getting more Bison meat to make this again. :-D
