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.

CHILI CON CARNE TEXAS STYLE - WITH VENISON



Chili Con Carne Texas Style - With Venison image

The original recipe (I believe it was a Good Housekeeping recipe book) has been modified for venison. Very tasty.

Provided by patklavon

Categories     Deer

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs venison steak
3 medium onions
2 medium green peppers
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes
12 ounces tomato paste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Cube the venison steak (1/4 inch cubes); dice the onions and green peppers; mince the garlic; shred the monterey jack cheese.
  • In a large pot, over medium high heat, in the vegetable oil, cook the venison cubes (a third at a time), stirring frequently until browned on all sides, removing venison to a bowl as it browns; set aside;.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup diced onions for sprinkling over chili later. In the pan drippings in the large pot, over medium heat, cook the green peppers, garlic, crushed red pepper, and remaining onions until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, and adding more oil if necessary.
  • Return the meat to the pot; add tomatoes with their liquid and the remaining ingredients except the shredded cheese; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until the venison is fork tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the chili in bowls and pass the shredded cheese and remaining onions to sprinkle.
  • I always like to make some garlic bread and a salad to go with this. It's really good - especially when the weather is cold (and the fireplace is hot).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili.
  • Brown the venison meat well: This will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color.
  • Use a variety of spices: This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the chili.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make venison chili, so feel free to adjust the recipe to your own liking.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced onions.

Conclusion:

Venison skyline style chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
