Introduction: Venison Chili
There is something special about making a pot of chili in the fall. It reminds me of my childhood deer hunting camp sitting around the fire waiting for the fresh harvest to simmer. When we harvest an animal we want to prepare it in a way everyone can enjoy it. Venison chili is simple and how I introduced my wife to wild game. This recipe takes around 45 minutes to prep with a cook time of 45 minutes to one hour.
