Notes
Taste as you go: Venison is strong-flavored, as are the seasonings in this venison chili recipe. When you come to the end of the recipe, taste the sauce when it's nearly done, adding more salt and pepper or whatever you feel is lacking, to balance it out.
Drain the beans well: Have the kidney beans drained as well as the other beans. Rinse them too before adding to the venison chili.
Prep your toppings: You can serve the same popular beef chili toppings and sides with this venison chili. Cheese, sour cream, sliced avocados, and corn chips are just some ideas to consider.
