This Crockpot Venison Chili uses ground venison, hearty beans and lots of vegetables to get extra flavors and all of the health benefits. I promise, you won't even know you are eating venison.

While this ingredient list may seem long, most ingredients are pantry staples. If you do not have all of the spices, feel free to substitute more or less of the spices.
I serve my chili with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos and sour cream on top. I recommend having some cornbread to go with the chill. Another fun option is crushed tortilla chips on top!

Yes, Venison Chili is good for you! Venison is a very lean meat with minimal fat. This Venison Chili is full of good for you vegetables. The beans give the chili extra fiber and protein making this a healthy and hearty meal.

Make sure that you lie the freezer bag flat in your freezer. Dethaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat the chili in the crockpot or on the stovetop.
