Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 red onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 cups red wine
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste
4 tablespoons canola oil
10 slices cooked bacon, diced
2 pounds venison stew meat, trimmed and finely diced
2 cups black beans, cooked and drained

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.

This is my Dad's awesome chili recipe. He got a deer this year so I actually got to make it tonight with some ground venison he had given us. This one puts together quick, with just an onion and a pepper to dice, then waiting and enjoying that great smell. Deeeeee-licious!

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground venison
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
32 ounces anasazi beans
28 ounces tomato puree
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes (chili style)
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf, broken in half
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more, to taste)
4 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 dash cinnamon
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 cups water

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.

Crock Pot Venison Chili image

Absolutely delicious venison chili, and super fast prep time. Can also be made with ground beef or turkey. Tastes a lot like Wendy's chili! This was adapted/modified from "Slow-Cooker Hearty Beef Chili" in Kraft Food & Family Fall 2008 issue.

Brown venison, until there is just a little tiny bit of pink still. This keeps the venison from getting tough, since it is super lean.

cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
stir before serving, top with shredded cheddar or mexican cheese.
