2 lb Venison breakfast sausage (pork added, along with spices to make the sausage; I add a little extra sage) 3 lb ground venison (or small cubes if you’d prefer). (FYI only, I have 10% beef fat added to my ground venison) 4 tbsp. olive oil 1 large white onion, diced (or more if you like onion) 3 heads of garlic, coarsely minced (I adjust up from there, and even add some roasted garlic depending on my mood) 1 large can diced green chiles 6 – 8 tbsp. home made chili powder (I make my own using a combination of dried peppers such as Ancho, Cascabel and arbols) 8 – 10 Jalapeno peppers with the seeds and white ribs removed, diced 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 cans black beans, drained 1 large can sweet corn (or more if you’d like), drained 2 bottles beer (I use Negra Modelo, but it’s your choice) 5 Bay leaves Several dashes of Frank’s Red Hot sauce, to taste Salt and Pepper to taste handful of corn tortilla chips (minimum, more depending on desired thickness); crushed Heat a large, porcelain-coated cast-iron Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add oil. Add the venison breakfast sausage to brown and release fat; break into small chunks. Add the remaining ground venison and the chili powder; cooking the chili powder releases the essential oils. You can add a quarter cup of water to the meat; it helps to break down the meat into smaller chunks and is evaporated during the cooking process. Cut Up Your Venison Like A Pro: Click Here Once the meat is all browned, add the onions and jalapenos. Cook until the onions are translucent, add garlic and stir into mixture. Add the beer; use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits off the bottom of the pan. Add tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, corn, and bay leaves to the mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. I try to let the mixture simmer for at least 1 hour before I taste it. At this point you can add additional seasonings if desired. I’ll occasionally add a bit of sugar or honey if the tomatoes are to acidy; it depends on your taste and what you like. Don’t add too much salt; the tortilla chips have salt also
