Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 lbs ground venison
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
32 oz kidney beans
28 oz tomato puree
14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes, chili style
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 large bay leaf, broken in half
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp cumin seed
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cups water

Steps:

Brown the venison in a stock pot (I use non-stick).
Add onion and pepper, sauté until slightly soft, about 10 minutes. When done, dump the mixture into a crock pot.
Add remaining ingredients and cook on low for at least 8 hours.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of venison: Chuck roast, shoulder roast, or stew meat are all good options for chili.
Brown the venison before adding it to the crock pot: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
Use a variety of beans: A combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans adds flavor and texture to the chili.
Add vegetables: Diced onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes add sweetness and depth of flavor to the chili.
Season the chili to taste: Chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper are all classic chili seasonings.
Let the chili simmer for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and jalapenos are all popular options.

Conclusion:

Crock pot venison chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious crock pot venison chili that your family and friends will love.
