I do believe that winter is officially here, much to my dismay 😄 I am pretty sure as I get older every year, I hate the cold more and more. I did not used to mind the cold, and I still don't as long as there is snow on the ground. Why else would it need to be so cold???
Anyway, when cold hits, I want as much warm food as I can get - chili, soups, stews, roasts. Anything I can make in the crockpot is amazing! We came back from Christmas with a lot of meat - our freezer is full! And now we need to use it up making as many delicious foods as we can with our, straight from the butcher, meat!
If you didn't know, AJ is a hunter - but he really only hunts deer. This year his dad got some ground venison and mixed it with pork. Wow!! It is really good! I am not a big fan of venison in general, but this combo turned out really yummy! So we decided to make some chili with it and it was amazing! According to AJ it was the best chili we've ever made 😋
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds ground venison mixture
minced onion (1/4 cup?)
salt and pepper
flour (as much as is needed to soak up most of the grease)
2-15 oz cans tomato sauce
1-15 oz can of chili ready diced tomatoes
2-15 oz cans chili beans
chili powder
cumin
paprika
garlic powder
Brown meat in pot with some minced onion, salt and pepper. Add a little flour to soak up the grease. (Because there is pork trimmings there was some grease unlike if it were straight venison.)
Add in tomato sauce, chili ready diced tomatoes,chili beans, and 1 can full of water. Stir
Season with about 1/4 cup chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika and 1 tsp garlic powder.Cook over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick/burn to the bottom.
Serve with toppings of choice - cheese, saltines, Fritos, sour cream...
Enjoy with a salad to get some veggies!
