I don't know any, but I'm sure help is on its way. Knowing fellow freepers and their chilli though, I would say to purchase gas masks for after dinner.

Hand ground cumin,and masa flour.(NO beans,or at least only pintos.)(NO,NO,Hamburger!,only chunk chuck!)

My 2 cents.

I'll make it VERY simple: get a can of S&W Chili Makin's. Add it to browned ground beef, spice it up some more with ground red pepper if you like, and BOOM, you have a fabulous chili in under 30 minutes. We discovered this stuff a few months ago and haven't gone to the trouble of chili from scratch since.

Here are a few tricks for cooking Texas chili:

1. No beans

2. Buy stew meat (not ground beef)

3. Cook stew meat (after browning) in oven bag with spicy BBQ sauce - low heat - discard juices

4. Use sweet onions, red and green peppers, a variety of hot peppers, and cilantro

5. Dash of mesquite liquid smoke

If I gave you MY RECIPE then you would be the best chili cook in the world. Recipe on bottle of Gebhardts Chili Powder bottle is very good Texas Chili.

[Map Kernow]

Saute two onions and two cloves garlic in olive oil until translucent---Add lb. browned ground chuck, cup beef bouillon, teaspoon ground cumin, oregano, ancho chile, mulato chile, and two pasilla chiles made into watery paste (you can vary this as you like--the various combos of chiles are what give individuality to your "chile"), couple of good beef soup bones with plenty of marrow (dig out marrow, mince it and add it back to chile after you've cooked it in the mess for an hour or so--give rest of bone to dog), a 20 oz. can or so of ground tomatoes, a 12 oz. bottle of Lone Star beer (or some Mexican beer like Dos Equis--drink remaining 5 bottles of sixpack). Bring to boil and add a couple of tablespoons of masa harina (Mexican corn flour) paste mixed with hot water---then reduce heat and simmer for an hour, hour and a half. Add can of kidneys beans if desired last 20 minutes of cooking.

CHILI SIZED PING

Here's the deal. Get yer meat. Go to any store and find some chili mixes. Use the hot mix. Add in at LEAST one can of beer. Give him plenty of beer when he's waiting. By the time the chili is done, he won't care. Add shredded colby/jack cheese in the bottom of the chili bowl. Some Frito's taste good as a garnish too. Health food at its finest.

For meat maake sure its the TOUGHEST part you can find... Preferably the shank.... REMEMBER CHILI takes a LONG time to cook... I've also read the TRUE Chili fans DO NOT use Tomatoes.... Use HOT red peppers!!!! THATS where the red color CAME FROM.... also if you ever yet along the Chisum trail its a little known fact that during the hay days of the trail the camp cooks used to plant Herb Gardens where they would stop for the night... Thus having to aleave them of the worry of takin along herbs... Thus reducing the wagon load!!!

[Roger_W_Isom]

Another HINT... if you know someone whose a HUNTER get him to give you THAT part of the Venison as well... I.e. The Shank or CHUCK... also if you are EXTREMELY LUCKY and can fin someone who went to Canada to da a little MOOSE hunting get some of THAT meat as WELL. From what I've heard HUBBY will DIE!! tasting it(Wide evil grin)

We have a chili contest every year at work and I have won 4 of the last five years with this.

- in a big pot, dice up lots of unions, green peppers, and red peppers. Add hot water and boil until your eyes are watering, leaving lots of water in the pot.

- start cooking beef that is coarsely cut, called stew meat or chili chuck. Cook it separately, draining the grease after cooking. Apply Lousianna hot sauce all over when it's done but don't put into the pot yet, let the meat soak up some of the hot sauce sitting there.

- Add whole sliced tomatoes (basically don't have the skin) from a can into the pot, minus the water. Crush the tomatoes up amongst the unions and peppers. Keep low boil going.

- Add tomato puree and all the chili powder. Add chyene pepper if you want it really hot.

- Finally dump the meat into the pot, stir and heat. Add more chyene if you need it.

Forget the beans! Good luck.

If you like the venison chili, try using shredded and cooked Jimmy Dean Hot sausage in there instead. It's awesome!
