I like to get my heat and flavor from multiple sources. But if you like the chili powder flavor, it will work fine.

 

[HogCommander]

Next batch will prob try a little less chili powder but like the spiciness of the recipe

That's a LOT of chili powder!!!!!!!

2-1/2 to 3, maybe.

I'm not a fan of beans in my chili. More cubed meat. More ground meat.

Sorry I didn't see your post count was still under 50 heres the recipes...

Chili

1.5 lbs ground meat of some sort
½ of an onion chopped
1 of the big cans of tomato sauce, or 2 of the regular cans
1 regular can of red kidney beans (dark, light…doesn’t matter) drained and rinsed.
1 regular can of black beans, drained and rinsed. (Or pinto beans are good too… if I’m making a monster pot, I’ll throw all three in.)
3 TBSP Chili powder
1 Tsp Cumin
1.5 Tsp Garlic Powder
½ TBSP dried Oregano
2 Tsp salt to taste….adjust for preference
2 Tsp pepper to taste…” “
1 Tsp sugar
4 cups of water

For spicy, chunky chili, I put all this stuff in mine.
Optional: 2 tomatoes diced, or (1 can of diced tomatoes)
Optional: ½ cup of green bell pepper chopped
Optional: 2-3 jalapenos chopped
Optional: 1.5 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Directions: Brown the meat. When it is half done, add the onions (and peppers, if you’re adding them.) to the pan. While the meat and onions are frying, get a big pot, or crock and add the tomato sauce, beans, spices and water. Stir all that up and put it on low to low-medium heat. (High, if using a crock pot.) When the meat/onions are done frying, drain off the fat and add to the pot. Crank that sucker to high heat and get it boiling, stirring frequently. Once it boils, reduce heat to lowest setting, cover and simmer for at least 4-6 hours; stirring once in a while. If it’s still too soupy for your preference, take the lid off and let it simmer until enough liquid boils off. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, corn bread or crackers.

OPTIONAL: During the last hour of simmering, add macaroni if you’re in the mood for chili-mac. Just boil up 1.25 cups of macaroni beforehand.



On another note I made prob the best deer stew ever!
Stew

1-2 pounds deer or beef stew meat
1-2tbl spoons of Paula deens house seasoning
1-2 table spoons of cooking oil or olive oil.
1 onion
2 cup chicken broth
4 cups beef broth
1/2 cup red cooking wine
2-4 carrots sliced into 1/2" pieces
2-4 stalks of celery sliced into 1/2" pieces
2-4 potato's cut into small cubes
1 small sweet potato cut into small cubes
1 can of corn
2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

this is a variation of a different recipe...but this worked out great. add or subtract water to desired consistency...
add soy sauce to deer or beef let sit for 10-15 minutes. then add 1-2 tablespoons of Paula deen's house seasoning and mix stew meat.
meanwhile saute onions untill they start to brown. Once browned to your liking add stew meat and brown meat on all sides. once browned add the cooking wine to get all the nice flavor off the pan. When this is complete add to crock pot.
in a 6qt crock pot add the beef & chicken broth. put crock pot on high setting. add celery, carrots let cook for 2-3 hours. stir every 30 minutes or so.
after 2 hours set the crock pot to low and add sweet potato, regular potato's and corn. Let "stew" for another 2-3 hours. can add peas if you like 5 minutes before serving. serve with crackers, biscuit, rolls...if desired. Also you can add red pepper flakes to individual bowl to spice it up. The rest of my family doesnt like spicey so thats how I get away with it. Hopefully this recipe is not too difficult to understand

Agreed. Lots of people think chili powder by itself is hot, but I don't. My favorite chili recipe has about 6 Tbsp for 2 lb of meat, plus 12 dried seeds-removed chili peppers and 1 teaspoon of ground cayenne. And it could still use a little more fire.

don't remove the seeds add you some crushed dried chili's and throw a couple habaneros in and it will be hot for you

That looks like a great recipe. I had a friend make some venison chili that was simply outstanding. I asked him for it and he said it was really simple: order a spice kit from hard times cafe. It was the Cincinnati Spice Mix. If you have one nearby, you can buy the spice kit at the restaurant.

 

[BlackBart]

Chili is one of those great wintertime foods!

 

[Ganegrei]

My god...

Now if only I had some venison...

 

[huesmann]

I think the recipe removes the seeds just so it can get the flavor from the husk. I know the seeds will add some heat!

Made this recipe last night. Used beef cuz I did not have any venison. Added a fresh chipotle pepper.

Darn good chili.
