Wild Game Chili

I'm not quite sure if it's deer season, but here's a game recipe. You can put all that leftover deer or elk in the crockpot and make up a batch of delicious chili.

Wild Game Chili

1 lb. ground deer or elk meat, browned and drained (you
can also use lean, ground beef, it works also)
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
6-8 large cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs brown sugar
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 can (26 oz. size) Ranch-style beans
1 can (15 oz. size) Ranch-style pinto beans with jalapenos
1 cup chopped celery
1 ( 14 1/2 oz. can) Mexican style stewed tomatoes
2 Tbs vinegar
2 heaping tsp chili powder

Brown elk/deer meat until almost done, add garlic, onion, celery and green pepper, cook till slightly soft. Place in a large crockpot with all the rest of the ingredients, (I usuall put the stewed tomatoes in the blender and blend well, my husband doesn't like large pieces of tomato in his chili), cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The last hour or so, you can remove the lid and let it cook on high till it becomes the thickness you like for your chili. Can be served with cornbread and either creamettes, or some other kind of noodle, or crackers, along with a salad.
