Venison Bacon White Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Cook and stir until the flour turns dark, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the white pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth.
• Gradually whisk in the chicken broth so that no lumps form. Add the green chilies with their liquid, and the crushed garlic cloves. Season with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cayenne, cumin, cilantro, coriander and oregano. Stir in the corn and beans, and bring to a simmer.
• Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally until browned. Add the onion and minced garlic; cook and stir for a few minutes. Add the venison, and season with remaining 3 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring to break the venison to your desired texture, until evenly browned.
• Transfer the meat mixture to the pot, and simmer over low heat for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon renders its fat, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Pat the venison dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In batches, cook the meat in the Dutch oven until browned all over, about 6 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all of the meat is out of the pot, add the onion, bell pepper, green chilies, and garlic and cook until the onion and pepper begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and chipotle powder and cook until the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer, bring to a boil, and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, chopped chipotle and chipotle sauce, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer and add the bacon and venison back. Simmer the stew, partially covered, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes, uncovering for the last half an hour. If the meat is tender but the sauce is too thin, simmer rapidly over high heat for a minute or two to reduce, stirring to keep the bottom from burning.

Steps:

• In a large pan saute the onions and garlic in oil and butter until they are limp and golden.
• Next add the ground venison & pork, stirring until well browned.
• Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the beans and cook on high for 5 minutes making sure to stir constantly at this stage.
• Lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Add the drained kidney beans and stir to blend the flavors together.
• Place the chili in a slow cooker on low and cook for 2 - 3 hours.
• Cook until the chili is thickened and rich in flavor.
• Remember to taste your chili as it's cooking to see if you need to adjust your seasonings.
• Adjust the spices accordingly and add more liquid if the mixture gets too dry.
• Top with a mixture of shredded cheddar & Monterey jack cheese & thinly sliced green onions.

Steps:

• In Dutch oven brown half of the meat, remove and drain off fat. Cook remaining beef with onion and green pepper until meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain off fat. Return all meat and vegetables to pot.
• Stir in chili powder, cornmeal, cumin, oregano, red pepper and garlic. Stir in broth, beans and salsa verde. Bring to boiling, reduce heat and simmer about 1.5 hours.
• Top with sour cream and/or shredded cheese.
• Crockpot: Cook meat and onion as directed above. In 3.5-4 quart electric slow cooker combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high setting 4 to 5 hours.
