Venison Chili recipe?

[bottlerocket]

Anyone have a good one they have tried and recommend? Ive had this venison meat in the freezer for about a month now and Im craving chili! I found a bunch of recipes online, but would rather find something already tried.

Haven't tried them but here a few on Food Network. Just have to read through the reviews to get an idea of which ones might be good.

venison chili needs additional fat. beef, duck, bacon grease, or butter... something, anything! it's good but a bit to too lean/dry otherwise IMO.

personally i like beans with venison chili. helps the texture

yea, typically i'm the same way, i prefer no beans. after making it though i felt like it needed something but i didn't add fat.
let me know what you do and if it's good. i still have plenty of venison.

I have about 50lbs left over still, so plenty of experimenting to do. Now I just have to find a good venison steak recipe to use. Got about 20lbs of that stuff lol

I made a venison tenderloin roast with a pomegranate reduction. It was damn good.

This. Any reduction type sauce will help if you're not big on the gamey flavor of venison. Sweet sauces help counteract that as well.

Personally, I cook backstrap the same way I'd cook a filet. Salt, pepper, EVOO, and a pat of butter the second it comes off the grill. But I don't mind the gamey taste, either.

Yea, I wound up using the reduction very sparingly. The tenderloin didn't have much gameyness to it to my surprise. Makes me regret making a spice rub for it, but DAMN, fresh toasted & ground cumin + pomegranate + venison = good combo!

I still have more tenderloin and backstrap left so ill try it with salt/pepper.
