Okay, from a paleo perspective, this was fabulous. No legumes, no grains, and if you're a strict paleo person, forget the cheese. We skipped the cayenne and the coriander and added more chili powder. We also doubled the broth that we added. Oh, and we didn't waste the bacon--we chopped it up nicely and put it into the mixture. Careful not to overcook the venison so that it doesn't get chewy. But I think you could use ground beef or turkey just as easily. I am not a strict paleo person, so I used a dollop of daisy--which was super yummy. I will use this recipe again.

I didn't think this recipe was good. :( It didn't taste like chili at all. I had to triple the amount of chili powder, double the amount of cumin and add quite a bit of salt and I still don't think it tastes all that great. I did use ground venison, could that have anything to do with it? But I see that others did as well. Any suggestions to make it better?

Used 'Chili grind' deer meat instead of chunks. Yum!

I give it a 4/5 stars. If your venison was chewy, you cooked it too long (seems like the biggest gripe below Take the bacon out and sear the venison meat, then remove. I prefer my wife's chili recipe and will use the venison preparation for hers.

I added cilantro, black beans, and corn to this to give it something more. I also used ground venison. Turned out great. Good venison chili recipe

A neighbor gave me 2 pounds of ground venison. So I thought to follow Emeril's recipe because I have never been steered wrong with him!
I used turkey bacon (since that's all I have ever have on hand. I used 2 onions. And everything else was right on according to the recipe. And per someone else's suggestion, I added a can of drained black beans.
I loved the heat in this dish. What a great balance of flavors. Can't wait to make this again.

Wonderful! I had a few lbs of venison to get rid of, so I made a double batch. My friends and family LOVED it!! My best friend said she'd never had a better tasting chili. Thanks, this one's going in my recipe book!

every Emeril recipe I have tried has been great. Until now. This is boring and didn't taste like chili at all. I even added more chili powder and more cayenne after tasting it and it was still boring. I won't make it again and waste the deer meat.
