Imagine my surprise...

when my wife says to me "I want venison chilli. Do we have any more?" I say: "Sorry babe it's all gone." Next thing I hear her rustling in the garage where we have our spare freezer yelling: "Are you sure?" and she walks into the kitchen holding more venison. What a nice surprise! Guess what's for dinner tomorrow night? Lol!

Did you post up a recipe for this famous chilli of yours?  Did I miss it or is it a family secret?

[Deerthug]

Hahaha! Here ya go Elmo...

I got it from here: http://mychilirecipe...ison_Chili.html

I tripled the recipe since we made it for 21 people for Christmas last year.

Adirondack Venison Chili

Ingredients:

1 pound ground venison

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, minced

1 green pepper, chopped

1 large can chili beans or kidney beans

1 can (16 ounces) can stewed tomatoes

Salt and pepper to taste

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms

Hot sauce to taste

In a large skillet with a lid, brown venison in butter, breaking the ground meat into

small pieces as you brown it. Add onion and green pepper and cook until onion begins

to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir often. Add beans, tomatoes, salt, pepper, chili powder,

mushrooms, and enough hot sauce to suit your taste, stirring occasionally. Cook about

1 hour over medium heat. Make ahead of time. Reheated it is even better!

Ha! I even got her to dance with me to a George Strait song playing on the radio while I was BBQing earlier!
