Ingredients
- 1 lb ground venison (ground deer meat)
- 2 cans (28 ounces) tomatoes (can substitute with crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, enchilada sauce, salsa, or fresh tomatoes)
- 4 tablespoons of dried minced onion (can substitute onion powder or one fresh onion cut into small pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves cut into small pieces (can substitute with garlic powder or minced garlic)
- 5 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoon of pepper
- 3 cans of beans (can use chili, kidney, black, or roma beans)
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Equipment Needed
- Measuring cups
- Spoons
- Large pot
Directions
- Brown meat in a large pot. You may have to add oil, because deer meat often does not have a lot of fat. You can use olive or canola oil. You may also substitute using vegetable oil or bacon fat.
- Mix in tomatoes, onions, garlic, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook on medium heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add beans, cook for another one hour.
- Add additional spices to taste.
