VENISON CHILI FROM THE LAND

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 pounds venison stew meat, cut into 1- or 2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (preferably smoked)
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 cup dark beer (such as Dos Equis)
1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted whole tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can low-sodium beef broth
1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon renders its fat, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Pat the venison dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In batches, cook the meat in the Dutch oven until browned all over, about 6 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate as it browns.
  • Once all of the meat is out of the pot, add the onion, bell pepper, green chilies, and garlic and cook until the onion and pepper begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and chipotle powder and cook until the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer, bring to a boil, and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, chopped chipotle and chipotle sauce, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer and add the bacon and venison back. Simmer the stew, partially covered, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes, uncovering for the last half an hour. If the meat is tender but the sauce is too thin, simmer rapidly over high heat for a minute or two to reduce, stirring to keep the bottom from burning.

VENISON SKYLINE STYLE CHILI



Venison Skyline Style Chili image

The greatest way to make chili with deer meat. You can adjust this recipe to suit your preferences, but the key is using the pork sausage to give you the fatty flavor that you miss with the lean deer meat. I don't add beans, but some people (like my dad) add red kidney beans as well.

Categories     Deer

Time 45m

Yield 4 Bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb venison
1/2 lb jimmy dean premium pork hot sausage (comes in 1 lb rolls of breakfast sausage)
1/8 cup butter
4 (15 ounce) cans of skyline chili
1 lb angel hair pasta (or any type of pasta or macaroni)
mild cheddar cheese, finely shredded
oyster crackers
1 onion, minced
Frank's red hot sauce

Steps:

  • In a large pot, put in about a quarter-stick of butter and let it melt. Turn the pot over and tilt it around so that the butter coats the entire bottom of the pot, and all around the sides as it melts. This will make it so that the Chili won't crust up and burn to the sides of the pot. Once the butter is melted, begin to heat up Cans of Chili on medium/high heat. Add Venison and Jimmy Dean sausage immediately (no need to brown it first, as the boiling chili will cook it). The meat can even be frozen when you add it, which is what makes this recipe so fast and easy.
  • Keep this pot over medium heat until it begins to boil. When the chili begins to boil, reduce the heat slightly so that it just barely does not boil.
  • Stir the pot regularly and leave it at this heat (just barely not boiling) for about 20 to 30 minutes or until it reaches desired thickness.
  • Boil a separate pot of water and add pasta. Cook pasta until it is done.
  • Chop up an onion into small pieces.
  • To serve, fill a bowl with pasta, then cover with chili, then cover the chili with cheese immediately so that it melts, then add onions (if desired) then oyster crackers. If you want it to be spicier, add Frank's Red Hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Venison: Opt for fresh or frozen venison that has been properly handled and stored. Look for meat that is a deep red color with no signs of spoilage.
  • Brown the Venison Thoroughly: Browning the venison before simmering it in the chili helps develop its flavor and adds depth to the dish.
  • Use a Variety of Beans: Incorporating different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, adds texture and flavor to the chili.
  • Add Vegetables for Texture: Vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and corn provide a nice contrast to the meat and beans in the chili. Choose vegetables that you enjoy and that will complement the flavors of the venison.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices and seasonings to enhance the taste of the chili. Common seasonings for venison chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer the Chili for a Long Time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more time the flavors have to meld and develop. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, but longer is even better.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: When serving the chili, offer a variety of toppings so that your guests can customize their bowls. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, avocado, and tortilla chips.
