VENISON WITH BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry meat dry.
• Mix ingredients together well in a large bowl.
• Usually an extra large zip-lock style baggie is what I prefer to use for freshness and ease.
• Add venison to baggies and add marinade.
• Seal to remove most air, but leave enough so it will shift when turned (at least twice).
• Marinate meat overnight prior to cooking please.
• In a crock-pot, pour in chicken stock and begin heating on high heat.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally until soft, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in brown sugar and cook until onions and garlic brown slightly, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the red wine, vinegar, and tomato paste and chicken stock along with the cumin, cayenne, chili powder, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, 30-35 minutes.
• Add mixture to chicken stock in crock-pot.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet heat oil and fry bacon until it browns.
• Remove bacon-leaving grease behind; add venison, salt and pepper.
• Brown the meat, stirring occasionally, until brown.
• Add crumbled bacon, meat and black beans to mixture in crock-pot.
• Add additional spices if necessary.
• Let simmer on high for about 3 hours.
• Taste for seasoning after about 1 hour.
• Turn heat to low and cook until ready to serve.
• The longer it cooks, the better it gets!
• Enjoy!
