Instant Pot Venison (deer) Chili Recipe

ground venison

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is more widely available.

kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans offer a different flavor, while pinto beans are often less expensive.

First, add the ground deer meat to the Instant Pot and cook on the saute setting until the meat is browned.

You can totally skip this step if you are in a hurry or if you don't want to do any cooking at all. Simply drop the meat in the Instant Pot and carry on.

Second, add the dry spices to the meat and mix well. I like to let the seasonings really absorb into the meat before I add any liquids.

Third, add the rest of the ingredients: tomato sauce, ketchup, water, and Rotel to the meat and mix well.

Place the Instant Pot lid on and set it to slow cook for 2 hours.

Finally, serve hot with crackers and your favorite toppings!
