Best Beef Moose Or Venison Chili Recipes

MAVERICK MOOSE CHILI

Steps:

• Brown the ground moose in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine the moose, diced tomatoes, chili beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, olives, onion, and bell pepper in a slow cooker; stir in the chili seasoning. Set the slow cooker to Low; cook 8 to 12 hours.

VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and transfer to paper-lined plate to drain. Add the venison to the hot oil in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally and in batches if necessary, until well seared. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onions, bell peppers and garlic and saute over medium-low heat until tender. Stir in the wine and the tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the dry spices, chopped tomatoes and the beef stock. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the sauce is very thick and flavorful. Add the venison to the pot and cook, stirring, until just cooked through and hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Check the seasoning and serve with the grated cheese.

SAVOURY BEEF STEW (OR BUFFALO, MOOSE, VENISON)

Steps:

• Dredge beef in flour.
• Heat oil in heavy skillet, add meat & brown slowly. Transfer the meat to a large pot.
• Add onion and garlic to pan - saute until onion is soft (don't burn) and then add to pot with the meat.
• Add tomato sauce, worcestershire, boullion, and parsley - add 2 - 3 cups of water so that the meat is covered. Simmer at low heat for 1 - 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Season at this stage to taste with salt & pepper, add more bouillon or other spices that you like.
• Peel and cut up the potatoes and carrots to desired size, dice the celery. I cut the potatoes into about 1 1/2" cubes, and the carrots in thick diagonal slices. If you want it to cook a little faster cut them smaller, and it will reduce your cooking time. Place all in large bowl and cover with cold water until ready to use.
• When stew meat is tender, typically in about an hour, you can add the vegetables. Drain the vegetables well and add them directly to the stew. Add some water if needed to make sure the vegetables are covered (sauce should just cover the vegetables). Cook on medium/low heat another 45 - 60 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender (not mushy!).

MINNESOTA HUNTER'S CHILI

Steps:

• Brown beef in a separate skillet over medium heat, 7 to 10 minutes; add to Dutch oven with venison. Brown pork in the skillet over medium heat, 10 to 15 minutes; add to Dutch oven with meat mixture. Add chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic, and cumin. Cook over medium heat until flavors have combined, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Stir tomato sauce, water, tomato paste, paprika, parsley, salt, and oregano into the meat mixture in the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally and add water as needed.
• Mix masa harina into the meat mixture in the Dutch oven; cook until thickened, at least 30 minutes. Add more water as needed.
