Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs ground venison
-
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
-
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
-
32 ounces anasazi beans
-
28 ounces tomato puree
-
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes (chili style)
-
3 tablespoons chili powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 bay leaf, broken in half
-
1/4 teaspoon paprika
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more, to taste)
-
4 tablespoons ground cumin
-
1 tablespoon cumin seed
-
1 dash cinnamon
-
1 1/2 cups water
-
fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Brown the venison in a stock pot (I use non-stick).
- Add onion and pepper, saute until slightly soft, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours.
- I serve mine with a little sour cream and diced onion on top, and some crusty bread.
- My husband insists this is sacrilege, and serves his with shredded cheese and crumbled crackers.
- We agree that it is best served with an ice cold beer.
