Directions

  1. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crumbled and browned, place into a large Dutch oven. Sear venison cubes until well browned, add to sausage. Add ground venison, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink, place into Dutch oven.

  2. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, cook until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the green and red peppers, red chile pepper, and jalapeno, cook until softened, then add to Dutch oven.

  3. Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes, and water. Season with chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the venison pieces are tender, about 2 hours.

  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley before serving. To serve, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese.
