Black bean venison chili

Black bean venison chili is an easy to make one pot dish. A great family dinner full of flavor.

Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines. I love how all the vibrant flavors comes together to form balanced dishes.

Many different ways to serve this dish

• simply with rice, plain or pilaf rice, topped with sour cream and fresh coriander,
• in tacos or on top of nachos
• 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.

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 .
