Deer/Elk/Bear Meat Chili

[saylean]

Tonights Dinner is as follows:

2 lbs ground meat (elk, deer, etc...tonight its deer)
1/2 1 large onion chopped (about a half cup)
3-4 spoons of minced garlic (or 3-4 cloves, minced)
1 can (14 1/2 ounce) diced tomatoes
1 cut up fresh tomatoe
1 can black beans
2 cans (16 ounces) baked beans, undrained ( I am using Bushes Baked)
3 tablespoons salsa
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (or onion salt)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup hot water

Brown ground meat, in a skillet. Drain fat if needed. Combine all ingredients in crock pot.  Cover and simmer on high for two hours. The longer it simmers...the better she tastes.

Serves 6-8

I love Chilli! Sounds great, looks like I have dinner planned for a day or two this week!

Its actually really really good. We had guests over for the holidays, I made it for them, and just now got the request for the recipe via email by coincedence...

[bucklucky]

So you use actual baked beans like maple , or just plain.

The Bushes baked beans I am using is the "brown sugar and bacon" kind...

But I would expect, any old style would work...thats what I love bout chilli...its not an exact science.

I had a brain fart when I was typing , those were the ones I was actually thinking of. I buy a bag of tater chips and a can of the brown sugar beans and dip away! Those are good beans!! Cant wait to try your recipe!

Thanks for the recipe, need to make it for my wife, she has never had American chili.

Last night was only the second time I have made it...and the first I used the chili powder...I like it with the powder for sure...but without using the chili powder, it has a sweet taste too it...I might like that better...

Either way though, you wont go wrong.
