Grants Venison Chili
This is a combo version of a ground black bear chili had as a kid and my father's chili recipe. π»
I am a big fan of using at least two varieties of fresh chilies if you have them- as well as cilantro to season and garnish. πΏ
It adds a fresh taste and sassy taste that cannot be beat. π
I am using canned beans for this, but those brave patient souls that want to can also soak beans overnight if they wish.
Iβve made this recipe with whitetails, bear, moose and some older freezer burnt elk a friend gifted me and it turned out great on every occasion. This is a great winter cold weather recipe and is a crowd pleaser at hunt camps.Β π« π¦ π»

Start by browning your venison and adding the spanish onion to this process.
Set aside the meat and combine the chilies finely
chopped up with the garlic, some cilantro, and half cup of drained red kidney beans from one of your cans.
Heat this up fast and add to the meat.
Chop up the tomato and add a half cup of chopped cilantro to this and add to the meat and chili mix.
Start to heat this in a skillet together.
While that is heating, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder and the rest if the cans of beans (drain and rinse first) in a slow cooker, or stew pot, if you are outdoors a dutch oven works well!
Add the brown sugar and/or molasses and once heated add the venison/meat mix and blend well.
Cook slowly for an 2-3 hours or longer as you want those chilis to do their thing!.
Serve with Lime corn chips and avocado wedges on the side. πβπ© π₯
Garnish with Monterey jack cheese, a teaspoon of plain yogurt and add fresh chopped cilantro and sprinkle with chili seeds. π π
