Drunk Deer Chili Recipe: A Hearty and Flavorful Stew

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 pound ground venison
• 1 pound cubed beef stew meat
• 1 pound cubed pork stew meat
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, with juice
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
• 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans pilsner-style beer
• 2 cups water
• 0.25 cup Kentucky bourbon

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add ground venison, cubed beef, and pork; cook until browned to lock in the flavors.
2. Add diced onion and minced jalapeño; cook until softened and fragrant. Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a balanced spice profile.
3. Stir in the canned stewed tomatoes, rich tomato sauce, minced garlic, and savory beef bouillon. Pour in beer, water, and a generous splash of bourbon; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
4. Cover the pot tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the meat is exceptionally tender, approximately 1 hour.
