INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Brown the Meat — In a big skillet or stockpot, brown your venison (or beef) over medium heat. Drain off the fat so all you’re left with is pure flavor.

2. Build the Base — Stir in the Klein Bros. Fire Roasted Salsa, beef broth, tomato sauce, ketchup, chili powder, paprika, and that cold Shiner Bock.

3. Add the Beans — Pour in the pinto beans, juice and all, because that’s where the magic is. Stir it all together.

4. Simmer & Blend — Let the chili simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring now and then so the flavors get good and cozy.

5. Serve It Up — Dish it over rice, serve it with cornbread, or go full Texas-style with Fritos and cheddar cheese on top.
