Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground venison or ground turkey
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cans 14.5oz diced Hunt's tomatoes (low sodium)
- 2 cans 14.5oz chili beans
- 1 can 14.5oz Hunt's tomato sauce (this is NOT pasta sauce, rather tomato sauce)
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat a large soup pan on medium heat. Add the olive oil.
- Add the ground venison and brown the meat in the soup pan on medium high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and pepper. Saute for about 3 minutes or until the onion softens.
- NOTE- if using ground beef drain off the fat right now, before adding the other ingredients.
- Add the cans of diced tomatoes, un-drained beans, sauce (these will be undrained), chili powder, and brown sugar. Stir.
- Simmer on low for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can leave the chili to simmer on low for up to 1 hour.
- Add additional salt & pepper as needed.
- Serve with sour cream, cheese, and chives.
Notes
Using a low-fat meat like Venison works perfectly for this recipe because the liquid from the canned tomatoes nicely adds the moisture needed to compensate. Chili is a great recipe for ground venison!
