This lean but meaty ground venison (deer meat) chili is easy to make on the stovetop with lots of vibrant spices and veggies for a bold, delicious, and hearty dish. It’s the perfect cozy dinner for fall and winter!
Today we are mixing things up with an old/new twist on a classic dish! This Venison Chili recipe features many of the same ingredients and easy steps as beef or poultry chili, but with an irresistibly unique taste of deer meat.
When making chili with venison, AKA deer meat, it’s important to remember that the meat is extremely lean, and can have a slight gamey or wild flavor. To enhance the flavor of the venison in the best possible way, I’ve added tons of fresh vegetables and spices to the chili. The result is a deeply delicious and hearty stew that you’ll make all season long!
