I,ve made venison chili many ways, some hot, some easy. Some I cant remember what all I put in! One thing for sure, Brooks chili beans is what I always use. And NOT because my last name happens to be Brooks
Myself and others I,ve made it for get less gas if any gas, as opposed to kidney beans. Altho the kidneys are a staple in alot of chilis....I prefer Brooks.
My Basic venison chili I just brown the burger with sweet vidalia onions, drain. I add a 28 oz can of both CRUSHED and PETITE cut tomatos. My own chili powder, red pepper seeds, garlic, and seasonings, and of course Brooks chili beans. and let it simmer, or crock pot. Of course I make enough for my army here, usually last one good meal and a leftover. You just cant beat chili on a cold day. I make it alot to take out on the ice while ice fishing.
