For a deeper, richer flavor, consider searing the elk roast on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference for heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Serve with a side of coleslaw or potato salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
