Crock Pot Venison Chili

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground venison (deer)

• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans

• 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans
• 1 1/2 cups chunky salsa (I use Pace Picante in Medium)

• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 3/4 cup onion, chopped
• 1 cup frozen corn, thawed, drained
• 2 tablespoons A-1 Steak Sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

1. 1

   Brown venison, until there is just a little tiny bit of pink still. This keeps the venison from getting tough, since it is super lean.

2. 2

   add to crock pot with all remaining ingredients.

3. 3

   cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

4. 4

   stir before serving, top with shredded cheddar or mexican cheese.
