Instant Pot Venison Chili Recipes

BEST VENISON CHILI RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather all of your ingredients to make your deer chili.
• Dice all of the vegetables.
• Start with a large pan/pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, peppers and celery for 5 minutes. After 2 minutes, stir vegetables.
• Next, add the venison burger and sausage to the sautéed vegetables. Chop the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks. Continue to do this until all of the meat is in very small pieces.
• Cook the ground meat and vegetables for about 15 minutes.
• Drain all the fat off and discard.
• Optional step: While the meat is cooking, pour all of the diced tomatoes into a bowl. With a stick blender, puree the tomatoes slightly. My family doesn't care for chunks of tomatoes in their chili.
• Stir in all of the diced tomatoes, beans, taco seasoning, salt, pepper and sugar.
• Pour in the tomato juice and stir to combine.
• Choose your prefered method of cooking. I like to use my West Bend Slow Cooker. See different cooking methods in the NOTES section of this recipe.
