Delicious Venison Chili Recipe - Hearty American Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional for extra heat)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the Venison

    In a large pot, brown the ground venison over medium heat until fully cooked.

    Break up the meat into small pieces for even cooking.
  2. Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until softened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Mix in Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.

    This helps to bloom the spices and enhance their flavors.
  4. Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.

    Ensure the beans are rinsed to remove excess sodium.
  5. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
