Chili made with deer meat in place of ground beef is one of many delicious meals you can make with this hunter's delight. Whether you make it in a slow cooker or a Dutch oven, deer meat chili won't stay in your bowl for long—until you get a refill that is.

Instructions

Make Deer Meat Chili in a Slow Cooker

1. Cook ground deer meat in a frying pan. Using a colander or strainer, drain all of the fat from the meat when it has cooked completely.

2. Put the cooked deer meat in a slow cooker. Add the rest of the chili ingredients to the slow cooker and mix with the cooked deer meat. Stir well.

3. Cook the chili on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours. Time may vary depending on the size of your slow cooker.

Make Deer Meat Chili in a Dutch Oven

4. Cook ground deer meat in the Dutch oven. Using a colander or strainer, drain all of the fat from the meat when it has cooked completely.

5. Return the cooked deer meat to the Dutch oven. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is translucent.

6. Add the rest of the ingredients to the Dutch oven and mix well.

7. Bring the chili to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

8. Sprinkle on some cheddar cheese or crumbled saltine crackers, serve and enjoy. Be careful when taking that first bite--the chili will be hot.
