Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of ground venison
  • 5 carrots peeled and sliced into thin medallions
  • 1 medium sized sweet onion
  • 3 ears of blanched fresh corn cut off of the cob
  • 1- jalapeno membrane and seeds removed, finely diced
  • 1- small red chili pepper seeded and membrane removed, finely diced
  • 1- sweet bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 14 oz. can of canned small-diced tomatoes (I use the low-salt variety)
  • 1 - 28 oz. can of tomato sauce
  • 1 - 32 oz. box of low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons of Signature Chili Seasoning

Instructions

  • Cook the ground venison in a 10" skillet until it's browned and cooked through. As it cooks, break it up into small bite-sized pieces.
  • If you haven't already prepped your vegetables, prep them as the meat cooks (as in the ingredient list).
  • Add your vegetables, the cooked venison, and the box of chicken stock into the slow cooker.
  • Cook the chili for at least 8 hours. If you're at home, you may lift the lid and stir occasionally, but it's best if you plug it in and leave it. You can cook this up to 10 hours.

Notes

  • I created this easy venison chili recipe to satisfy my own requirements for a low sodium, low carb, low fat diet.
  • This is a fairly spicy chili recipe. Dial down the heat by omitting the red chili pepper.
  • This is a "thinner" chili. As it cooks down, it will slightly thicken. If you want a thicker chili, add three tablespoons of Masa to the crockpot, turn to high, and leave the lid off for 15 minutes. It will tighten up for you.
