Venison Chili

My Great Tasting Homemade Chili - Made With Venison

Fallow this recipe; and make your family or hunting camp some great tasting homemade venison chili. It is also a great way to use up your venison when family or deer hunting buddies get tired of eating those venison steaks from your trophy deer. Chili made with venison can also be stored in your Food Savor bags and frozen for use later on. I get many complements on my chili. Most of the time people don't even know there is venison meat in my chili. Those who know me may suspect that I have put ground venison is in my chili; but if I don't tell them, they haven't a clue.

Frying ground venison, sausage, and onions

Fry in skillet with onions and 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil. In a large saucepan combine all ingredients. Heat at medium to high heat, stirring often, until chili comes to slow boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer; stirring often (you don't want to scorch or burn any ingredients that settle to the bottom of the sauce pan) for 20 minutes.
