Matt's Big-Time Eatin' Chili

Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozVenison - trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes, or ground beef or cubed beef
1 tablespoon 15mlChili powder
2 teaspoons 10mlGround cumin
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGranulated garlic
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlBlack pepper
1 tablespoon 15mlCornstarch
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlDried leaf oregano
4 tablespoons 60mlCoarsely chopped sweet white onion
3 tablespoons 45mlCoarsely chopped red bell pepper
1   Whole stewed tomatoes
2 cups 474mlWater

Recipe Instructions

Preferably using a black iron skillet or saucepan, brown the meat for 3 to 4 minutes, until it's slightly gray (no oil is necessary), then drain the fat. Add all the seasonings, the onion, and pepper, and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and water, and simmer uncovered until tender, approximately 1 hour or more, until the meat reaches the desired tenderness (the longer you cook it, the more tender it gets; the choice is yours).

More water may be added if needed. Adjust the salt and chili powder to your taste.
