Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 6 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 4 teaspoons salt, divided

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles, peeled and seeded, diced, liquid reserved.

  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon dried cilantro

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder, divided

  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, divided

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander seed

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 pound sliced bacon, diced

  • 1 red onion, chopped

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 pound ground venison

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until smooth; cook and stir until flour turns dark, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, white pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.

  2. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth and no lumps form. Add green chiles with their liquid, and 6 crushed garlic cloves; season with cumin, cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, coriander, and oregano. Stir in corn and beans; bring to a simmer.

  3. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned. Add onion and 6 minced garlic cloves; cook and stir about 3 minutes. Add venison; season with remaining 3 teaspoons salt, remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder, and remaining 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring to break up venison to your desired texture, until evenly browned.

  4. Stir venison-bacon mixture into the pot; simmer over low heat for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
