Brown the Meat:
- In a large frying pan, brown the venison over medium heat until cooked through. If using ground turkey or beef, the process is the same. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
-
Add Onions and Seasoning:
- To the browned meat, add the diced onions. Cook them together until the onions turn translucent, usually about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in your favorite seasoning mix, blending everything thoroughly for a burst of flavor.
-
Introduce the Sauces and Beans:
- Next, pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and both types of kidney beans. Mix everything well, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Crockpot or Stovetop:
- You have two delicious options here:
- Crockpot: Transfer the chili mixture to a crockpot set on medium-low heat for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the flavors to deepen and the ingredients to meld together perfectly.
- Stovetop Simmer: If you’re ready to dig in right away, simply let the chili simmer in the skillet for 15-20 minutes on low heat. This option is great for those moments when you can’t wait to dive into a bowl of piping hot chili goodness!

- Extra Veggies: Boost the nutritional value by tossing in some diced bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini.
