Fast and Easy Elk Chili

2 lbs. ground Elk
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pkg. chili mix
2 cups water
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (14 - 15 oz) can of kidney beans
1 (28 oz) can of Bush's Baked Beans

This is cheating but it makes chili fast and easy. Brown meat, add onion and garlic, cook for 5 more minutes. Add chili mix and water, simmer 10-15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients (may need to transfer to bigger cooking pot) and simmer for 1/2-1 hour, covered, stirring occasionally. Serve topped with grated cheese.

Nick's Chili

4 lb Rough-ground venison or elk

2 cn Whole, peeled tomatoes

2 lg Cans of tomato paste

6 Plum tomatoes; diced

2 lg Onions; diced fine

1 lb Mozzarella cheese or some kind of cheese

1/2 lb Fresh mushrooms; sliced thin

4 cl Garlic; minced

5 tb Cumin

2 tb Oregano

1 tb Or 2 tablespoons of chili powder (3 or 4 if the temp is below freezing or it's raining)

3 tb Vegetable oil

Salt and pepper; to taste

You can leave out some of this, or add other things; some say chili isn't chili unless it has a handful of jalapenos swimming around in there, and it's not uncommon to tip a bottle of Jack Daniels over the pot on occasion at camp, either. I like to brown the meat, onions and garlic in the vegetable oil first, then add the dry spices and stir into the meat; that way, the flavor isn't lost in the liquids you add later. Cumin is one of my favorite spices. You can't add too much for me, but some people might prefer less. Next, you add everything else except the cheese, put the heat on low and simmer for at least three hours, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, add the cheese and stir steadily until it's melted. You might want to add some fresh diced onions to the top of the bowl and serve it up with fresh-baked cornbread. Man, home-cooking never was like this.
