Wild Game Chili (Venison and Wild Boar)
"You can use your favorite game meat for this chili. I used the venison and wild boar because they were easier for me to find. You want to add the vegetables in layers in order to get a complex flavor throughout. I do not like beans in my chili, so if you are a bean lover, just add a can of kidney beans to the recipe."

I did the recipe with wild boar, and it is a real winner. I usually do chili with beans but it wasn't necessary with the mushrooms and they actually suited the boar better than with beans. I will use this one again for sure. Next time I will try it with deer or maybe mix the two. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
