Basically, as the meat has tenderized in the slow cooker, the browned edges have basically fallen off the meat and have created a crock pot full of browned chunks, that resemble very large pieces of ground beef. What the heck? I know venison is extremely lean, so when it tenderizes perhaps there's nothing left to hold it together?

I'm willing to bet that all of those browned bits are pretty tasty, even if they look a bit odd. It smelled good.

After adding carrots, potato, and more onion, the crock is now full to the brim, 6.5 quarts. I opted to top off the liquid with more Valpolicella instead of beef stock. Just sounded better :)
