COOK IT.
Preheat your grill or smoker to 375°F with your dutch oven or oven-safe pot inside. If using a Pit Boss grill, close your grill's sear plate or flame broiler plate.
Once grill and pot are preheated, add butter and ground venison to the dutch oven and cook until browned.
Add garlic, onion, and diced green peppers. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent.
Add all remaining ingredients and spices into the pot and stir until incorporated. If using canned beans, ensure the beans are drained and rinsed.
Allow the chili to cook in the smoker for 45 minutes to 1 hour until desired consistency is achieved.
Remove the dutch oven from the grill and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with your choice of sour cream, red onions, and cheese.
