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.

GROUND VENISON CHILI

Ground Venison Chili image

After searching recipes for a wild game chili recipe I compiled ideas and created this recipe. I originally used deer & moose (1 lb each) but have found it also works well with any combination, even beef. I like white beans for their tenderness and use light red beans. Great for crockpots, too!

Tips:
