So I grabbed the last bag of meat from last winter and turned it into a pot of chili. Lacking the grinder I diced the meat into 1/2" cubes and browned them off in a large pot, sweated some onions, garlic, fresh peppers from MIL's garden and some celery, then added the rest of my seasonings and some beef broth. It got me thinking...I usually do my chili with ground because it's more convenient...but after tasting the texture and flavor of whole meat - I will be doing this from now on. The only one in the family that doesn't like steak chili won't eat the venison anyway...so it's of no consequence to anyone else how the deer chili is cooked
My boys LOVE it...the two year old is asking for more hot sauce in it. Gotta love 'em
