Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of ground moose
  • 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon each of ground pepper and cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • 2 cans 15 oz each of pinto beans
  • 2 cans 10 oz each hot rotel
  • 1 can 6 oz of tomato paste
  • 2 banana peppers or 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 of an onion peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups of beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons of chili powder

Instructions

  • Begin by browning the meat with minced garlic in your dutch oven or pot. While the meat is browning, combine all the seasonings, except chili powder, and add it to the meat.
  • Once the ground moose is cooked, add your beans, Rotel, and tomato paste.
  • Stir everything in well, then add the remaining ingredients: peppers, onions, broth, and chili powder.
  • Lastly, give everything one good final stir before covering it with a lid to simmer for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to blend together. (trust me, its so much better this way)

Notes

This chili is on the spicier side. For a milder flavor, use mild rotel or diced tomatoes instead.
This recipe fits nicely in a 5.5 qt dutch oven.
