Dads Venison Chili Recipes

DAD'S VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• Brown the venison in a stock pot (I use non-stick).
• Add onion and pepper, saute until slightly soft, about 5-10 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours.
• I serve mine with a little sour cream and diced onion on top, and some crusty bread.
• My husband insists this is sacrilege, and serves his with shredded cheese and crumbled crackers.
• We agree that it is best served with an ice cold beer.

VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes. Then stir in the red wine, vinegar, tomato paste, chicken stock, cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cilantro and salt. Simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced by about half.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the bacon and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bacon is browned. Move the bacon to one side of the skillet and add the venison to the empty side of the skillet. Season the meat with salt to taste and saute the meat for 15 minutes, or until well browned. Stir in the beans and toss all together. Transfer this mixture to the simmering pot.
• Mix everything together thoroughly and let simmer for about 20 more minutes.
