Ingredients

1 lb. ground venison or ground turkey
1 medium onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
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

Coat the bottom of a large soup pan with a small amount of oil.
Add the venison and brown the meat in the soup pan on medium high heat.
Add the onion, garlic, and pepper. Saute for about 3 minutes.
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 or until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
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!
