"I just made a batch of this chili for an informal cook-off tomorrow. It is amazing! I'm not normally a fan of chili, but now I think maybe I just haven't had any yet that was very good. This recipe is changing my mind.
I used all ground venison and only 2 jalapenos instead of 3. The heat turned out just right for me; spicy but not painfully so. May add black beans tomorrow when I warm it up.
And, giggling a bit at the reviewer who said "When was the last time you saw a deer in Texas?" I don't think he was looking very hard. I rarely buy ground beef or turkey because 90% of the time I use venison that my dad or brother hunted... here in TX."
