This recipe for venison Sloppy Joes comes from my friend who is a guide in Alaska. It's excellent for sandwiches on rolls with sharp Cheddar cheese. Yum yum! It's slow-cooked in a slow cooker so even the toughest of roasts or stew meats will work; eventually the meat just falls apart! It's also good served over hot cooked rice.
