Key Ingredients
- Elk Roast. Choose a roast that is a minimum of 3lbs. It should be trimmed, and I recommend a "rump roast" for best effect.
- Cream of Chicken Soup. Any brand will work.
- Onions. I recommend yellow onions, but any will do. One onion is fine.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients an quantities.
How to make Crockpot Elk Roast with gravy
- Step 1: slice an onion, separate the rings and place in the bottom of a crockpot. I use a yellow onion but you can use whatever kind you like. Next, cut the elk roast into chunks and place over the onions.
- Step 2: Sprinkle elk meat with ranch dressing mix, and spread with cream soup. Add a cup of water and cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. You can find ranch dressing mix in most grocery stores near the condiments. You can also order it online.
- Step 3: Add one can of cream of chicken to the pot.
- Step 4: Add a full cup of water to the existing ingredients.
- Step 5: Place lid on crockpot, cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or until roast is tender.
Chef's Tip: You can also add some scrubbed, whole potatoes to the crockpot for a complete meal that is ready to go when you get home.

Hi I’m excited to try this with the elk in our freezer. I wanted to clarify; do I use one can of condensed cream of chicken soup?
Yes, that’s correct.
