Venison Chili

The cold hit which means time for warm you up foods! So I turned to one of my favorites that living in Florida we don't get the weather for often, Chili! I love all the spices and things you can top it with. Speaking of spices I decided to make my own chili seasoning instead of using my trusty store bought packet I've always used. 

Chili Seasoning: (Mild)

5Tbs Chili Powder 

2Tbs Flour

1 1/2Tbs Cumin

2Tbs Garlic Powder

2Tbs Onion Powder

2Tbs Sugar

2Tsp Paprika

2Tsp Cayenne pepper

2Tsp Black pepper 

2.5Tsp Salt

1Tsp Red pepper flakes

2Tsp Italian seasoning 

Mix all together in an air right container. 

Use 2.5Tbs per 1lb meet in chili   

Chili:

2 cans diced tomatoes

1 can diced fire roasted garlic tomatoes

1 can red kidney beans, drained

1 can pinto beans, drained

2lb venison or ground beef

5Tbs Seasoning 

Brown meat in pot, drain fat. 

Add rest of ingredients, simmer on low for at least an hour. Longer is better. 

Serves 10

Topping options we like: 

Fritos

Chopped Onion

Shredded Cheese 

Sour Cream 

Avocado

Hot sauce

Corn bread is a good side

I fed 6 people with it and had enough left over to freeze for a lunch another day. 

Everyone really liked it and had no clue it was venison ;-) 

Enjoy!
