This chili really surprised me. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. There are many more chili recipes with a lot more ingredients that don't taste as good but sure take more time. I did simmer it about twice as long cuz it was on the soupy side and I like my chili on the thicker. Overall a great chili that I will make often. I did top it with some chopped cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Thanks Kaarin for posting. -
Darn, no venison, so I had to use the ground beef. Flavorful and filling. A good choice for a busy night when you don't have much time to spend in the kitchen. -
Made for ZaarTag. This was good and easy to make! I'll make this again on cold nights. Thanks!

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
