First up on the secret ingredient list: chocolate. That’s right, Chocolate. You’d never expect it even though chocolate and heat go pretty well together in things like Mexican hot chocolate. This chili is not nearly that chocolatey.

Chili is rich, deep and often spicy, so adding a sweet ingredient is a great way to create balanced flavor. We’ve found that adding diced carrots is the easiest way to add natural sweetness, but you can also use vegetables like sweet potatoes or winter squash.
Do you add pork to venison burger?

Use deer meat that was refrigerated less than 24 hours after kill to reduce the amount of gamey taste and to have venison that can be seasoned to taste more like beef. Ground or cubed venison is the best venison meat to be seasoned to taste like beef because the meat is easily permeated by the seasonings.

Cinnamon, strong coffee, and dark chocolate all boost them meaty flavor in a good chili. Pick any of the following: 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 whole cinnamon stick, a shot of espresso, a small cup of strong coffee, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, or a few squares of good-quality dark chocolate.
What can you not put in chili?

How do you make venison taste good?
A favorite marinade for grilled venison steaks is a mixture of olive oil, a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, a spoonful of Worcestershire sauce, some minced garlic (with the juice), a squirt of mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips to make this Venison Goulash:
Use good quality sweet paprika. We used Hungarian sweet paprika which has a distinct and robust flavor. It doesn’t taste anything like the paprika you will find in the small spice bottles in the grocery store.
Do you have to soak deer meat before cooking?
We don’t say this is necessary, but if you want to do it, fine. It won’t hurt anything. Fresh deer meat can have blood in it, and by soaking a few hours or overnight in a solution like salt water or vinegar and water will remove much of the blood. After the soaking, empty the pan, rinse the meat then proceed.
