1st Place Chili Con Carne
You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Gloria,
This is a very similar recipe to our venison chili We used Ranch style beans instead of kidney beans and Rotel tomatoes instead of the green pepper and tomatoes. It does make it a little spicy. We also browned the onion in a couple of slices of bacon. Yours sounds yummy especially since I am avoiding spicy right now! Congratulations on the win!
