Ground Venison Chili
"After searching recipes for a wild game chili recipe I compiled ideas and created this recipe. I originally used deer & moose (1 lb each) but have found it also works well with any combination, even beef. I like white beans for their tenderness and use light red beans. Great for crockpots, too!"

This chili turned out pretty good. I am not familiar with cooking with venison or the taste so I was rather nervous and used 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb ground venison. The flavor turned out really good. I had no green pepper, used cayanne, and had a peach mango salsa instead of verde. It had a great rich flavor. I cooked elbow macaroni and then gave the option of having it mixed in the bowl, under the chili or without. Would recommend!
