Deer Chili

[Smitteken]

The cool weather had me craving chili so I whipped a batch up the other day.

2 lbs deer burger

2-15 oz cans of Hot chili beans

1-15 oz can of pinto beans

28 oz can of tomato sauce

15 oz can of crushed tomatoes

15 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 onion

1 T of minced garlic

3 T chili pepper

Large can of V8

Brown burger with 1/2 the onion and the garlic.

Then put everything else together except for the V8.

Crank up the heat and stir to keep it from burning. Use the V8 to thin it out. B/c at this point it'll be pretty thick. I like mine on the thick side, but still use about half of the V8. I usually kick up the heat with a couple of Jalapenos but I didn't have any. Also...next time I'll probably put an extra Tablespoon of chili powder in.

One more thing, throughout the cooking I added salt and pepper here and there.

Its ready to eat whenever its hot, but its better the longer it simmers, and even better the next day.

Enjoy

Re: Deer Chili

Looks like a pretty good recipe.

I never use a recipe for chili. Usually brown my ground veni in a little olive oil with sauteed onions and fresh frozen jalapenos and bell peppers from the garden. Far as how much of everything else I use the dump, pour and taste method. I always like to inculde a little(tbsp or so) of cumin in my chili too.

Posted it before (every time a chili recipe comes up). It's an awesome recipe. People keep asking for it so I keep sending it out.

Murphy's Chili

2 lb. ground Venison

(can substitute 1lb ground beef and 1 lb pork sausage if you have to)

1 can (12 oz) beer

1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, 1/2 chopped - 1/2 sliced (optional)

1-2 fresh jalapenos, de-veined, de-seeded and finely chopped

(sauteed/cooked jalapenos do not add that much spice-heat to chili so don’t be afraid to add the jalapenos)

2 tsp. chili powder (more to taste - usually)

1 tbs. oregano

2 tbs. cumin (more to taste - usually)

1 can (15.5 oz.) tomato sauce

1 can (15.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilis

3 tbsp. barbecue sauce

1 large onion, chopped

3 clove garlic, minced

2 can (15.5 oz) Chili beans - undrained

1 can (15.5 oz) Great Northern Beans, drained

(or any beans of choice)

In a pot brown meat almost done, add and sauté onions, garlic and jalapenos, adding mushrooms about half-way through this step.

Add beer and stir. Add chili powder, cumin and tomato sauce and diced tomatoes/chilis to pot, cover and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Add beans to the pot pot and continue to simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally. If it is too thick, add more beer to get desired consistency. Simmer for another 15 minutes.

Note: If using venison, add a little oil to pot while browning.
