My Tasty Tasty Venison & Pork Chili

Submitted by Baby Kato

"My husband loves venison chili. We hope that you will enjoy this spicy dish, which can be made hotter or milder, by adding or decreasing the amount of chili powder and peppers. When cooking with venison, I always add ground pork or bacon because venison is very lean and can dry out easily. For the best tasting chili remove from heat, let the chili cool completely, then cover and refrigerate it until the next day."

My husband and I LOVE this chili recipe. And the venison and pork mixture is perfect for chili! I will never go back to the chili mix packets again. Yum!

Tasty, tasty indeed! Well worth the time to measure out the 28 different ingredients. I agree that it is best to make the chili, then let sit overnight in the refrigerator for the deep flavors to develop. (A bonus is that the fat rises to the top so you can literally take it off and throw it out.)

This chili is fabulous! I made this last night for dinner and used all the recommended spice proportions. It was perfect for us. I accidentally only bought a half pound of pork, so I was a little short, but we did not seem to notice. We ate it after 2.5 hours in the slow cooker. We used more cheese than indicated (almost 2 cups and I still have lots of leftovers) as we served the green onions and cheese in our individual servings versus stirring them into the pot of chili. I have plenty of leftovers, so I am anxious to have this again for lunch today since you said it is even better the next day! The ingredient list is long, but the chili really requires very little chopping or prep. I am putting this in my keeper file. Thanks!
