Ingredients:
-
Venison Stew Meat (meat/alternative of your choice)
-
1/2 lb hot sausage
-
1 Red Pepper
-
1 Green Pepper
-
1/2 Large Onion
-
2-3 Jalapenos
-
14oz Crushed Tomatoes
-
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
-
1 tsp M & S Maple Syrup
-
Frozen Bag of Fire Roasted Corn
-
1 Can Chili Beans
-
Tex-Mex Chili Seasoning Packet
-
1/2 cup of favorite broth (add more as needed)
-
Salt & Pepper
How to Make:
1. Start with your venison in a bowl, season and coat with 1/2 of the Tex-Mex Chili Seasoning packet
2. Hard sear the venison and then place in a crockpot
3. Next, chop and sauté the peppers and onion (this is a preference, you could add the veggies into the crockpot without sautéing). Add to the crockpot
4. In a skillet, cook 1/2 sausage, if using links, remove the casing (I like to cut the links into small cubes). Once cooked through, add to the crockpot.
5. Dice up jalapenos and add to the crockpot
6. Add beans and crushed tomatoes to the crockpot
7. Add Cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and M&S Maple Syrup and give the everything in the crockpot a good mix!
8. Pour in broth of choice
9. Cook on low for 6-7 hours
10. Add frozen fire roasted corn within the last 1-2 hours
11. Taste Test! Add additional seasonings + broth if needed
12. Serve and add your toppings! (Recommend Vermont Cabot Cheddar cheese, sour cream and tortilla strips)
