Venison Chili

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground venison
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves garlic (pressed or diced)

Venison makes great chili, which should be seasoned heartily to complement the flavor of the game. The mix of herbs in this recipe gives the chili a bitter depth that is great underneath the heat. In this recipe we also use half a quart jar of our own canned tomatoes.
  1. Brown venison in a little oil in a big pot.

  2. Add onion and garlic.

  3. Season.

  4. Add tomatoes, wine.

  5. Add beans last, after the chili has simmed nicely.
