Great Chili
Deer or Elk Chili
Championship Deer or Elk Chili
Ingredients:3 lbs. of choice-cut, bite-size venison or Elk cutlets
3 to 4 spoons of chili powder
4 spoons of bacon grease
One can of beef stock
One-third cup of diced garlic
One yellow onion, diced finely
Two spoons of diced cumin
One spoon of ground oregano
Two spoons of salt
One-half cup of paprika
Five finely chopped cilantro sprigs
One can of tomato paste
Instructions:Fry six pieces of bacon in a large skillet and set the bacon aside. Brown half of the venison in the bacon grease (eight minutes, until the pink is gone) and transfer all content into a large pot, adding all of the chili powder. Set to simmer. Repeat this bacon grease browning process with the rest of the Venison or Elk. With all the meat now in the pot simmering, add the can of beef stock plus just enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil. Reduce from boil to simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes uncovered before adding all of the rest of the ingredients, including the crumbled bacon. Simmer uncovered until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally to keep the bottom of the pot clear. Fat on the surface is low with lean Venison or Elk, but skim out what there is. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes past the point of tender meat. This serves about eight with shredded cheese on top. It is a true Texas Red chili, which does not call for beans mixed into it. The dish is a slight variation of one of Frank Tolbert's chilies. Frank is credited with helping found the World Championship Texas Chili Cook-Off in Terlingua, Texas. Eat it with warm, buttered tortillas. Serves 8-10
