Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground venison
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 jalapeños, sliced (reserve some for garnish)
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Hot sauce, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground venison and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot, cooking until they’re soft and fragrant.
3. Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and sliced jalapeños, reserving some jalapeño slices for garnish.
4. Mix in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
6. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavors meld together.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with reserved jalapeño slices, a sprinkle of red chili flakes, and a dash of hot sauce.

Helpful Tips

For a milder version, reduce the amount of jalapeños and omit the red chili flakes. You can also substitute ground venison with ground beef or turkey if preferred. For an added layer of flavor, try adding a touch of dark chocolate or a splash of beer to the chili as it simmers.
