[Music]
well today what we're going to have is
cast-iron chili I've got my 10-inch
cast-iron Dutch oven here on the stove I
got a little grease can here that's got
some bacon grease in it we're going to
be cooking deer chili so venison has
very little fat to it and I've got my
other ingredients here I've got two
pound of a little over two pound of
ground venison and I've got one yellow
onion I've got a can of dark kidney
beans a can of chili beans some chili
powder some garlic minced garlic and
also some ground cumin and so what we're
going to do we're going to get ready and
we're going to slice and dice this onion
and we're going to get that into our
Kent Dutch oven add a little bacon
grease because deer meat is so lean it
doesn't have any fat to it so we need to
add some kind of fat to help fry this up
and so we'll get ready and get that
onion chopped up and the garlic in there
get a little bacon grease in there and
we'll start to brown up our deer meat
and as soon as we get that done we'll
come right back to you here shortly all
right we got our onions chopped and we
got our bacon grease in there we've
taken and we've added our ground beef or
ground venison and we've got that
stewing down in the garlic minced garlic
and the onion and what we're going to do
now is we're going to add about a
tablespoon of salt to this
and we'll do about half of it and we'll
put the other half in when we get all
the other ingredients in with the Chile
one other thing I did I went ahead just
to save a little time and I took and
open the kidney beans and the chili
beans and I've rinsed those off i rinsed
all that sauce and everything off of
those beans because if you know if I can
be tell you a little secret here all
that sauce and everything will make you
have gas so if you'll wash all that
sauce and everything off your beans
before you put them in chili some people
don't even like beans in their chili I
like it both ways I like chili without
beans and I like chili with beans but
today we're going to have cast iron
chili with beans and so anyway we've got
those beans rinsed off and everything
and they're draining here and we've got
our venison stewing down and cooking
down in these onions garlic in our
10-inch Dutch oven boy it looks so good
but anyway we'll go ahead and get this
fried up and everything and we'll come
back to you and put all the other
ingredients in here and tell you what
all we've got one other thing I did fail
to mention earlier we've got the salt
that I mentioned also one other thing is
oregano and I've got some homemade array
or not homemade but homegrown oregano
homegrown then it's ground I usually use
a little bit of regon Oh in my chili
also but anyway we'll leave all the
recipe ingredients and in the amounts in
the description box when we get done so
as soon as this gets fried up we'll come
back to you here shortly
okay well we've just about got our
venison stood down and and fried down
with the onion and the garlic a couple
of the things here I want to show you
I've got all my spices together I've got
my cumin I've got the rest of the salt
that we didn't add to the grind earlier
I've got a teaspoon of oregano and I use
about four are not a teaspoon or
tablespoon I'm sorry and then I use
about four tablespoons of chili powder
now a couple other ingredients I didn't
mention earlier on deer grind venison if
you want to try to take a little bit of
the flavor away or the taste of the wild
game away if some of your meats gamey or
whatever you can add chicken broth to it
and I are not chicken broth but beef
broth and that's typically what I do I
add a little bit of beef broth to my
deer grind also I've got some homemade
stewed tomatoes and I've got some
homemade tomato juice that I'm gonna be
adding to that now you don't if you
don't have homemade you can certainly
buy stewed tomatoes from the grocery
store and and tomato juice or whatever
but just be careful when you're adding
your juice just add it gradually so you
don't get it too juicy okay so we're
gonna get ready to add this together as
soon as the rest of this fries up and
we'll come back to you here shortly all
right well we've got all of this stuff
in the pot and it's been bowling down
look at that I'm gonna turn this heat
back and stir this up but you see how
juicy that is now folks that's the
reason why I tell you be sure when
you're adding you know your stewed to my
toes and your beef broth be sure and add
it gradually because you can get it too
juicy now that looks really good I want
you to look at that chili with beans in
it right there I didn't put a whole lot
of tomato juice in it because the can
stewed tomatoes that I had that I can't
out of my garden had quite a bit of
juice in it so that's the reason why I
didn't have to add any additional tomato
juice
but man that looks so good I'm gonna get
a bowl here and I'm gonna put me some of
this in a bowl and get ready and try
this out below look at that now folks
that right there is some deer chili now
what I'm gonna like to do you may not
like to do this some people do but I've
got a little extra shredded cheese that
I had in a refrigerator I'm just going
to add a little extra shredded cheese on
that let that melt down in there some
people like crackers some people like
Fritos scoops and different things some
people just like chili like it is but I
like to put a little cheese on mine and
so we're gonna take a taste of this and
see what it looks like here so well that
is hot
be sure and blow that off folks before
you get a big bottle of it look at that
this is deer chili with beans
mmm-hmm then that's got a good flavor
like I said you know the trick to this
on deer chili deer grind is if you don't
want it to taste like it's wild game or
whatever you can add some beef broth to
that some people like to take half deer
grind in half hamburger meat regular
ground hamburger meat and mix it
together and that kind of cuts the taste
to you know if a deer has been processed
right it won't have much of a taste
anyway and so this has been processed
really well it tastes real good but I
just wanted to give you those additional
added tips to that if you do have some
deer grind that is a little wild flavor
wild taste to it you can put your beef
broth in in your chili and you can't
tell the difference that it's not just
regular ground beef versus deer grind so

make a pot of cast iron chili and we
