Chili Con Carne with Wild Game Meat Recipe-

Chili Con Carne with Wild Game Meat, TexMex style, goes wonderfully served over rice. In addition to the shredded cheese on top, you can also garnish Chili Con Carne with Wild Game Meat with slices of avocado and shredded iceberg lettuce. Yummy!

Ingredients:

(makes 12 servings)

3 lb. Wild Game meat, Deer and/or Elk, cut into 1” cubes
1-1/2 tbsp. scallion infused olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
48 oz. canned red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
45 oz. canned tomato sauce
14.5 oz. canned, diced fire roasted tomatoes, with juices
1 cup water
6 oz. can tomato paste
¾ cup salsa verde
1 envelope chili seasoning
2 tsp. dried minced onion
1 tsp. chili powder
¾ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp. ground cumin
¾ tsp. cayenne pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh cilantro, minced

Directions:

Using a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil to medium high and brown the meat cubes on all six sides. If necessary, brown the cubes in batches—depending on the size of your skillet.
Once all the meat is browned, add in the minced garlic, and cook for just 1 to 2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Put the meat and garlic into a 6 quart slow cooker.
Now add into the slow cooker the water, tomato paste, tomato sauce, dices tomatoes, the beans, tomato sauce, salsa verde and seasonings. Stir and mix all the ingredients together well.
Put the like on, and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat cubes are nice and tender.
Serve your TexMex Chili Con Carne with Wild Game Meat either in a bowl as a complete dish, or on a plate over a bed of rice. Garnish with shredded cheese and minced cilantro. Optional (but great!) garnishes are slices of avocado and shredded iceberg lettuce, as well as chopped tomatoes, onions, and jalapeno peppers – mix and match to your tastes.
