Hearty Venison Chili | Wild Table

Chili and wild game have been a partnership that has lasted the test of time. It has always delivered a warm hearty meal to the partaker and the perfect pairing to a cold night. The thing I enjoy most about it, is the millions of ways it can be made. Each recipe is original to the maker and able to be tweaked slightly through the years to create your own version of chili perfection! For about 21 years I have been tooling with this venison chili recipe. It is certainly my chili. My hope is that you try it, enjoy it and then through the years, change it and make it your own!
