This is a step by step process to make the best venison chili you'll ever taste.
To make this chili you'll need the following:
1) A hunter's education certificate from your local game and fish commission. Cost $0.00
2) A state hunting license. Cost $35 to $100
3) Full camo clothing plus your hunter orange safety vest and hat. Includes boots,pants,shirts, jackets, vest, heavy socks, long handles, hats and gloves.
Cost $500 to $1000
4) A high powered rifle,scope, gun case and ammo. The caliber of the rifle depends on the amount of testosterone present in the individual. Cost $1000 to $3000
5) A high powered 4 wheel drive pickup. Big engine, dual exhaust, large tires.The size of the tires and engine is related to the amount of testosterone as noted in number 4 above.
Cost $25,000 to $35,000
6) At least 100 acres of prime deer country. Cost $100,000 to $500,000 depending on what part of the country you live in.
7) Cabin, camper, tent and supplies for an extended stay on the 100 acres of prime deer country you own. Cost $500 to $100,00
8)1 deer
9) Butcher to process your deer and make it into hamburger, etc. Cost $80 to $250
10) Minimum of a 15 cubic foot freezer to keep all of your processed venison in. Cost $300 to $1000
Total cost: $127,415 to $640,350
Now to the specifics:
- 1 lb of ground venison.(I'll list the cost of this since it is the prime ingredient. $1593 per lb to $8004 per lb. Guys, don't let your wife see this or you'll never be able to start deer hunting)
- 1lb ground beef 80/20(venison is very lean so the 80/20 keeps it from being so dry)
- 1 large white onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 large jug of V8 juice( shhhhh this is an old family recipe)
- 2 large cans of pinto beans or ranch style beans or kidney beans or chili style beans. (whatever trips your trigger)
- 1 large can of Rotel
- salt, pepper and chili powder
- shredded cheese
- crackers, corn bread,(your recipe)or a heavy style bread like a rye, pumpernickel, whole wheat, etc.
- Spring of parsley
OK, here we go:
Take a large stock pot
Brown venison and hamburger in the pot
Drain
While draining, saute onions and peppers in the pot
Dump drained meat back into the pot
Add V-8, beans and Rotel in and stir
Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste
Bring chili to a boil and turn down to simmer, stirring occasionally
Simmer until chili thickens a bit( this is a personal choice on how thick you like your chili)
When thick enough, ladle chili into a bowl, sprinkle cheese on top and garnish with a sprig of parsley
Now chow down!
Chili can also be served with tortilla chips and is great to eat as a dip.
Thick bread can be used for sopping
Cornbread can be crumbled in the chili also
All of these make great eats.
This recipe feeds a bunch. If more show up, add more water, V-8 or beans
BUT............................................... ...............................
Immediately after eating, take 2 Gas X tablets or suffer the consequences.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who are still with me, I wrote this for a recipe book at a family reunion.
To put it in context, most of the folks there were city folks.
