Jed's Elk Chili

Shana C's Note:

This is my husband's easy Rocky Mountain chili recipe. We usually make it with ground elk, but I've also used ground beef and ground turkey and both are great. It is super quick and easy with most ingredients coming right out of a can. It can also be put in a crockpot on low all day.
