Time 1h35m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 cup beef stock
Salt and pepper
1 cup grated Sonoma Jack cheese
4 strips bacon, diced
2 1/2 pounds leg or shoulder of venison, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped green bell peppers
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or other dry red wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano

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.

3 jalapenos, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano

2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground cayenne
2 tablespoons ground chipotle
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups veal stock
1 bottle beer
1 small can chipotles, pureed
2 cups cooked black beans
1 (16-ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
Grated manchego, for garnish
Chopped pickled jalapeno, for garnish

  • Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until venison is fork tender. Check for seasoning and serve. Serve with grated manchego and pickled jalapeno.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect venison bacon, marinate the venison in a mixture of brown sugar, salt, pepper, and your favorite spices for at least 12 hours before cooking.
  • When cooking the venison bacon, cook it over medium heat until it is crispy and browned. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the bacon will not cook evenly.
  • To make the white chili, use a variety of beans, such as Great Northern beans, pinto beans, and black beans. This will give the chili a more complex flavor.
  • Be sure to simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have had a chance to meld.
  • Serve the venison bacon white chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced avocado.
