Venison chili is rich and hearty, made with ground meat, bacon, veggies, and healthy beef bone broth. This deer meat chili recipe is a comforting, paleo and keto-friendly, low-carb meal for hunting season or any cold-weather night. Make it on a stovetop or in a slow cooker!
I’ll be willing to bet that just about everyone reading this knows someone on a low-carb or Keto diet right now. One of the hottest diet trends in ages, it shows no signs of slowing down. Wild game is a perfect fit for this style of diet.
Add in ground venison and cook until browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Stir in the broth, chili powder, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, cumin, salt, optional pepper, and optional bay leaves. Cover and cook on high 2 to 4 hours or low 6 to 8 hours.
Mexican Zucchini Skillet uses ground beef, but you can easily use ground venison instead. Stuffed Peppers are easy to make with venison and are very filling. Cheeseburger Casserole has bacon – just like my chili – and is filled with cheese too. Hamburger Stew is usually made with ground beef, but venison is an easy swap.
