Recipe Instructions

Lightly spray the bottom of a large pot with cooking spray. Add onion, garlic, and fresh chiles. Saute over medium-low heat, stirring, until onion is limp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a dish; keep warm.

Sprinkle the cubed venison with pepper. Add the seasoned venison to the pot (if necessary, lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking) and cook, stirring, until venison is well browned.

Return onions to the pot and add the remaining ingredients except black beans and cilantro. Stir well, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, until the venison is tender. If chili seems too dry, add water as needed to maintain desired consistency.

Stir in black beans and cilantro. Cook for another 10 minutes, until beans are heated through. Ladle the chili into soup bowls and serve.
