Instructions

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, ground mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, liquid smoke (if using), celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, nutmeg, and hot pepper sauce to create a well-blended sauce.
3
Pour the sauce mixture over the venison roast in the slow cooker, ensuring that the meat is thoroughly coated.
4
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for approximately 4 1/2 to 5 hours, or until the venison is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
5
Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and set it aside to cool slightly.
6
While the meat is cooling, strain the cooking sauce to remove any solid bits and return the smooth sauce back to the slow cooker.
7
Shred the cooled venison using two forks until it reaches your desired texture, then stir it back into the sauce to combine. Allow it to heat through for about 10-15 minutes on low.

To serve, use a slotted spoon to scoop the savory meat mixture onto each hamburger bun, generously filling each slider.
