Ingredients

How to make it

  • Get out the biggest stock pot you have and heat over med-high heat. Crumble the ground venison and italian sausage into the pan and cook until evenly brown. (If using ground beef, I recommend draining off the excess grease. If using ground venison, I do not drain.)
  • Add the kidney beans, spicy chili beans, tomatoes, tomato paste and mix thouroughly. Next add the onion, green and red bell peppers, serrano pepper(s), bacon, bouillon and beer. Season with chili powder, worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and sugar. Stir to blend then simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours stirring occasionally. (I usually let this simmer for about 3 hours.)
  • It's fabulous when eaten the same day, but it's even better if you make it a day ahead!!
  • Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar and sour cream if desired!

    FANTASTIC! I brought some into work for the guys and they want me to retire my job and become THEIR personal chef. I told them that I got the recipe from you and they said that I can stay employed but YOU have to be the chef. haha. Thanks for the recipe and if you need directions to where i work let me know.

    Superb! Everyone who loves chili needs to try this one! I used beef instead of venison. Also added some chopped raw onion on top with the cheese and sour cream. YUM!!!
