Venison Chile con Carne

Recipe Courtesy River Ranch Steak House

Feta cheese, for garnish
Blue tortilla strips, cut thin, fried

Directions

First, fire roast
poblano pepper, tomatoes and garlic cloves. Dice garlic, blend tomatoes, peel and slice
poblanos and set aside.

Take a Dutch oven or large skillet and add oil. Heat oil and add in the bacon. Stir in
ground pork and cook on high heat for 3 to 5 minutes then add in venison. Add salt to
taste, white and black pepper, chile powder, chorizo seasoning, oregano and minced garlic
and stir well. Add cumin slowly to your liking. Slowly, slowly add cumin, be careful
(powerful stuff). Cook this all real good and stir constantly. When the meat is cooked,
add in onions, bell pepper, Anaheim chilies and celery. Deglaze your pan with a 12 ounces
Lone Star Beer. Add your blended tomatoes, 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, poblano peppers,
chicken stock, beans and cilantro. Let simmer and get a good taste. If you like it
hotter, add Serrano peppers or jalapenos. Thicken with masa harina. Serve in a large
bowl with feta cheese and fried corn tortilla strips in center. Accompany with crackers,
cornbread and ice cold Lone Star.
