Easy Texas Chili:

1-2 lbs of venison burger
2 medium onions chopped
olive oil
1 smoked ham hock (optional)
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp red pepper flake
3 16oz cans of whole tomatoes (quartered) & juice
1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp cumin

In a skillet with a little bit of olive oil, brown meat and cook onions. Place the meat and onion mixture into a crock pot. Add remaining ingredients to the crock pot.  Cook on high for 2-3 hours until bubbly.  Switch heat to low setting and cook for another 3-4 hours or even longer if you need to fit into your schedule  .  Remove ham hock prior to serving if desired.

Serve over rice with compliments of sour cream, shredded cheese, nacho chips.

This is another one of those dishes that taste even better if you cool it, store in the refrigerator, then heat and serve a day or two later.

Kid's Chili- This is a nice, sweet, bean filled chili.  Easy to make and kids will love it especially as it has no real bite or strange spices they sometimes do not like.

5 slices bacon, chopped up
1-2 lbs of ground venison
1 onion chopped up
1 16oz can red kidney beans (drained)
1 16oz can Navy or Northern beans (drained)
1 16oz can pork and beans
1 Smoked ham hock
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp yellow mustard

In large pot/Dutch oven, cook bacon til crisp and remove meat, leaving fat in pot.  Cook onion and ground venison in the fat until browned, but do not over cook.  Add all remaining ingredients, stir and cook over medium heat til bubbling, lower heat and simmer for 1/2 hour or longer, adding a little water if needed. Remove ham hock prior to serving if desired.

Jerky Marinade:  A friend gave me this marinade for making jerky.  Add more hot sauce and pepper flake to "kick it up a notch".

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp liquid smoke
1 to 3 tbsp red pepper flake (depending on your spice taste)
1 tbsp hot sauce

Make sure to cut venison in thin slices, marinate overnight stirring a time or two, and then dehydrate either in a dehydrator or in oven on very low temp. When I make jerky, it has never lasted more than a day or two as friends keep coming back for more.

Venison Jerky

Cut meat 1/4' thick and 3/4' wide.

3# Lean Venison (No Fat!)
1 T Salt
1 T Insta Cure or a cure of your choice

1/3 cup Worcestershire Sauce

Marinate with all Ingredients for 24 hours. Covered.
Dry in Smoker or oven about 10 hours at 100 Deg. F. on Racks sprayed with Pam (or similar) to prevent sticking.
Dry meat longer if you want it real hard.
Pack in Jars with perforated lids to prevent molding.

NOTE: To prevent meat from falling thru oven racks cut hardware cloth (metal 1/4" mesh) and place on top of oven racks

Back Strap Marinade: Great on a butter flied back strap.

3 lb piece of back strap, butter flied to 1/2 " thick or less
fresh ground pepper
salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
dash of liquid smoke
dash of Kitchen Bouquet

Take the butter flied back strap, and salt and pepper each side.  Use a fork to thoroughly pierce the back straps to allow marinade to soak in.   In a shallow marinade pan, mix all remaining ingredients and stir to form marinade.  Lay back straps into pan, and marinate, turning several times, overnight or during the day.  Over a HOT grill, cook the back straps only until the meat is medium.  Let meat sit for a moment or two before slicing, and then cut thin, angled slices.  Serve with a salad, wild rice and a nice cabernet

Venison and Grape Kabobs

Ingredients

2 pounds of venison cut in cubes about 3/4" square (can use any cut. Cubes from shoulder roast may be used or boneless loin.)

2 pounds seedless grapes, red and/or green

Olive Oil

Knorr multi herb spice or some equivalent

8" wooden Kabob Sticks

Deep porcelain Bowl

Grill

The Venison should be cut in cubes the size of the grapes. Use any cut of meat. As soon as you cut the meat put it in the bowl with olive oil. The meat should be covered with oil at all times and stored in a refrigerator to prevent discoloration. As you prepare the brochettes start with a grape and alternate grape meat grape meat. Alternate colors of grape to give a more visual effect. Use five grapes and four pieces of meat per brochette (about 50 grams of meat). Always start and finish with a grape. This holds together better. The assembled brochettes will by very oily. They should be stored in a deep tray with wax paper between rows of brochettes. Sprinkle each with a spice as you prepare them.

Grill the brochettes on a hot bar-b-que. They should be turned constantly and grilled such that each visible side of a cube is seared and no red meat is showing. As always with venison, do not overcook. Serve immediately.
