I hate Stewed Tomatoes. All I see is to use them. Anyone have any other ideas with Venison Hamburger

Just use crushed tomatoes and add some tomato paste to it. I dont like stewed tomatoes either but I love chili.

I use diced tomatoes in my chili, I would never use stewed tomatoes, the flavor isn't fresh enough. Other uses for ground venison are meatloaf and meatballs. I do not get ground meat, I have cubes made instead and I use the cubes for chili and stew.

I do the same thing John!! If I put anything ground into chili it is sausage.

You can also make bologna, snack sticks, hot dogs, etc....

Try crushed tomatoes and tomato paste like tfabarcher35 said, or just use your favorite spaghetti sauce. It will be a bit thicker than usual Chili and you'll need more Chili powder to counter the sweetness of most spaghetti sauces, but that's the way I alway make mine, and I love it.

Can you suggest a recipe?

I don't know about the other guys, but what I like to do follows these procedures, more or less:

In a stock pot:
Brown 1lb of ground beef or venison, remove
Saute 1 medium sized onion chopped, remove
Saute 2 green bell peppers chopped, remove
**I remove them all because they finish at different times and I don't want one part mushy while the other is hard**

Now everybody back in the pool!!
Along with a jar of spaghetti sauce (your favorite is fine)
All the sauteed ingredients
Add one can of mushrooms
Salt, pepper, and Chili Powder to taste
Simmer for 30 minutes or so
**The spice will vary depending on how spicy you like it and how sweet the spaghetti sauce is**

That's it. For my recipe there really isn't a wrong way to do it. I've put everything from mushrooms, to peppers, to carrots, you name it. It's kind of a spicy/meaty/tomato based/vegetable soup sometimes, but it's good!!
