  • inside an Enchilada or burrito
  • With corn masa dumplings (Chochoyotes)

This black bean venison chilli freezes well! Make sure it’s completely cooled before freezing.

Because of these reasons I always make a big pot and put in the extra effort to make it delicious.

This venison chilli recipe makes a big pot and I never really do smaller batches because we always use it. However you can easily half this recipe if preferred.

What beans to use?

Beans are an important ingredient in a good venison chili recipe.

Dried beans are the best. They take longer to cook then canned beans but a good chili needs a long cooking time anyway to bring all the flavors together for a well balanced hearty Mexican stew.

My preference is black beans however kidney beans work well as a substitute in this venison black bean chili.

I’m using chipotle in adobo for a rich smokey spice element.

This recipe is mild to medium spiced. The chipotle chili ads complexity as well as spice to the dish.

San Marcos, Chilpotle In Adobo Sauce, 7.5 Ounce
La Morena Chipotle In Adobo, 7 oz
EMBASA Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, 7 Oz Can

If you prefer a spicy venison chili then simple add extra chipotle in adobo to the recipe.

Beef works well as a substitute in this deer chili recipe .
