Hickory Smoked Venison Chili

[Bob Correll]

Boys night the other night, time for chili, as spicy as son and I wanted it.
Had not planned this, so I took out a 1 pound log of frozen ground venison.
Put it in a pan, smoked it with hickory, pulling it apart as it thawed.

Rendered a small piece of brisket fat for oil, added onions and the meat.

Added Rotel tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, red beans, and a couple of my smoked chile peppers from last summer.

Final touch was a big pinch of Hawaiian black lava sea salt. (middle of pic)

I had mine topped with locally made tortilla chips, cheese, and a bit of sour cream.

Son and I agreed, super tasty, and the hint of smoke was perfect!

I could SHOOT myself for NOT being a hunter...
most hunters I know (lots) do not share their meat so it's RARE I eet venison...

Bob, your son's gun skill and your cookin' skill look AWESOME!

 

[James Payne]

That looks perfect!

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks!
If we lived closer, I'd give you some Jim.
Tyler took this one with his bow.

Nicely done Bob!

 

[Dan CANADA]

Looks awesome. I sure could go for some nachos right now.

If that's a bit of sour cream, I'd hate to see what a lot is.

Looks great Bob. Just the right amount of cream for me. Gotta have it.

Looks great Bob, have y'all ever cooked a hind quarter? I've been told to smoke it but heard it's a little lean.
