Venison Chili (Texas Style)
In this video, I will be sharing a recipe for Texas Style Venison Chili that I've been working on for years. This chili is flavored with spices and thickened with masa and dried chilis. Guajillo and Ancho chili's are toasted and pureed with aromatics and to make the classic red gravy that makes a proper Texas Chili. I substituted venison for the traditional beef--the lean and earthy flavor of the deer meat is a nice change from the bold beefy original. The use of beans in Texas Chili might be controversial, but I'm 100% behind the use of beans in chili.
Chili is a homey, comforting soup that arrived to Texas via the Canary Islands in the 1700's. Texas adopted it and it became a staple food of the Texas cattle herders due to their easy access to fresh beef and the abundance of dried chili peppers. I'm not sure how or when the no beans allowed attitude came about, but I can only assume it was within the past 50 years. Why would you deny your hearty soup and extra layer of depth and body? I've read that certain Texans say the bean dominates the flavor profile so much that you can't get the subtle nuances of the chili. I call BS on that. These are the same Texans that claim that putting BBQ sauce on your brisket is some type of low brow behavior. Chili is better with beans and brisket is better with sauce--I don't think it's hard to prove either point. The pinto bean is adored by Texans and I believe it belongs in your pot of chili. Plus, times are tough right now, and if you can manage to have a pot of pure beef chili in 2020, you're making soup in high cotton.
Cooking Game: Venison Chili
Venison Chili
Ingredients:
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided
2¼ lbs ground venison
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large poblanos, stemmed and diced
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder, or to taste
1½ tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo
3 (14.5-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, preferably in tomato puree
2 (15-ounce) cans small red beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups beef stock
Serving Ingredients:
corn chips
shredded sharp cheddar or Pepper jack cheese
sour cream
diced red onions or sliced scallions
sliced jalapenos or serrano chiles
Specialty Equipment:
Slow Cooker
Methods:
Heat a large Dutch oven or other wide, heavy saucepot over medium-high heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Sprinkle the venison generously with salt and pepper.
Working in batches, crumble the venison into large chunks into the pot and sear until browned, transferring to a large bowl as done, 6 to 8 minutes per batch, adding more oil as needed.
Reduce the heat to medium. (If working on an electric range, you may need to remove the pot from heat to let it cool down a bit.)
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the poblanos, and onions, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot to cool it down a little faster.
Return to the heat and cook, stirring often, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chile powder, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the chipotles and tomatoes, crushing the tomatoes with your hands or mashing with a potato masher, half of the beans, the stock, and the venison with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl.
Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the venison is tender, about 2 hours.
Add the remaining beans and warm through. Adjust seasonings.
Serving Methods: Serve the chili with the corn chips, cheese, sour cream, onions or scallions, and chiles.

National Champion Chili Recipe (2018)
This chili recipe is a World Champion Chili Recipe from the 2017 Terlingua Chili Cook-Off. This is the championship-winning recipe from Brent Allen. In the video, we show you how to make a competition style chili (which doesn't allow for fresh ingredients) but we do not follow the recipe to a T, so please check out Brent Allen's competition-winning chili recipe here:
All of the world champion recipes are also posted on the Chili Appreciation Society Appreciation website.
There are several different ways to make a red chili recipe and this is a competition championship chili recipe so it does not include many of those raw ingredients found in a home version of the traditional comfort food chili recipe such as onions or peppers. In competition, you can't add raw ingredients so you must use powders. If you want to try this at home -- which I recommend because it is DELICIOUS -- you can buy all of the chili powders I named online.

Texas Red Chili - Bowl of Red
Texas Red Chili - AKA Bowl of Red - AKA Chili Con Carne
The timeframe and origins of chili are debatable such as many things in history. Did it start in the US or did it come from Spain?
In 17th century there is an old Southwestern Native American legend that a chili recipe was put on paper by a beautiful nun, Sister Mary of Agreda of Spain.
In the 18th century there are records in San Fernando de Bar, now know as the city of San Antonio, of a spicy “Spanish” stew that is similar to chili.
In the 19th century things became more clear. Chili was cooked on chuckwagons where Cowboy cooks didn't carry perishable items, it was made popular in Tex prisons, it went national when Texas sets up a stand at the1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
My favorite account is the women of San Antonio known as the “Chili Queens” selling this they called chili that was makde with dried chilis and beef in the Military Plaza Mercado. From the July 1927 issue of Frontier Times. In this article, Frank H. Bushick, San Antonio Commissioner of Taxation, The chili stand and chili queens are peculiarities, or unique institutions, of the Alamo City. They started away back there when the Spanish army camped on the plaza. They were started to feed the soldiers. Every class of people in every station of life patronized them in the old days. Some were attracted by the novelty of it, some by the cheapness. A big plate of chili and beans, with a tortilla on the side, cost a dime.
One thing that is not debatable is the original chili started off as Chili Con Carne (chili with meat) and it started off in the Southwest. Chili was about the meat and the flavors from the chilis. There were no fillers such as beans, noodles or rice.
State Dish of Texas - 1977 - RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of Texas, the Senate concurring, That the 65th Legislature in recognition of the fact that the only real bowl of red is that prepared by Texans, hereby proclaims chili as the State Dish of Texas.
