Texas Deer Chili Recipe

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the venison and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and sour cream if desired.
