Venison, Sweet-Potato Chili with Chipotle

This venison slow-cooker recipe combines the appeal of sweet-potatoes with spicy chipotle heat. If you require less spice, lessen the added chili powder.

Start with Tender Venison

Some packets of meat have been labeled “stir-fry”. Those are the small bits from around the steaks that are left over after trimming the fat. These bits are perfect for this recipe. You might also use venison stew meat, but a little longer in the pot — to promote tenderness — would be advised.

Sweet-potato meh to Wow!

Though not a fan of sweet-potato dishes, I love their beautiful color and economical abundance in the fall. They’re good for you too ;)

Therefore, I created this recipe to satisfy the requirement for sweet-potatoes on the menu during the holidays.

Cooking is best with collaborators ;)

However, my son gets credit for suggesting I use chipotle peppers. They add a slight smokiness that is quite appealing with the venison and sweet-potatoes. This addition got raves from guests who like spicy food.

Make it family friendly…

In conclusion, — for a family meal, I would tone down the spices quite a bit.
