Red chili elk

[Gr8bawana]

Made some red chili using some shoulder from the cow elk I got last winter. Some of you guys might think it's strange to use potatoes but my wife and I like them in our chili.

Looks good I'll have to try the potatoes in my chili. Never have thought of that.

Looks more like an elk stew/chili hybrid with the taters and beans. I'll have to give it a try because it looks great.

 

[CrossCreeks]

Definitely a different twist for Chili! Really looks delicious I will have to try it !

I guess it is a hybrid stew/chili like Alabama mentioned.

I don't use a recipe so I'll give approx amounts.
I usually have lots of shpoulder cuts so that's what I use.
2-3 lbs of any game meat
1 large onion
2 cloves of garlic
2-10oz cans of red chili sce or red enchilada sce-I prefer spicy
chlli powder-make it as spicy as you like
1 bottle of beer
salt & pepper to taste
cubed potatoes
2-3 cans pinto beans-drained-I like a pretty even ratio of meat to beans and potatoes

Brown meat and onions together till well browned then add garlic-brown about 5 more minutes
Add red chili sauce and beer and enough water to cover-then simmer 2-3 hours till meat is tender-taste for salt
Add potatoes and simmer till they are tender

put beans in last so they don't turn to mush simmering with meat-add some water if it's too dry

I thought the Cali guy might have said sourdough, but I agree it looks good!

Crackers! Who has French (or Sourdough) bread in camp?
