Absolutely the best. Next time, I will try it with all the meats in ground form for a more traditional consistency. The flavor and the aroma was wonderful, but the kids were not used to a chili with stew-type meat. The look in their face was priceless and so was the flavor of this dish. Some people omitted the water and it is sound advice if you don't like your chili on the soupy side.

Made this chili last night and it turned out fantastic! The only changes I made were to use spicy V8 juice instead of tomato sauce and I added a can of kidney beans... very smooth flavor!

Wow does this smell delicious simmering in my kitchen! Probably the best chili I've had. I used about 1.5 lbs venison/pork breakfast sausage plus 1.5 venison steak. I also added a can of chili beans, a can of black beans and some rice which should offset the fact that this dish is pretty soupy. I only used 1/2 c water, no jalapeno or cayenne (since my kids are little) but even so it has a wonderful flavor. A DEFINATE keeper! I have young children

This was an awesome recipe. I must admit i tweaked it a bit by adding about 1/3 cup chili powder( i dont really measure), 2 jalapenos, 2 cans of tomato sauce and a whole mini bottle of Jim Beam. I only added 1 1/2 c. of water and added some salt. The fiance' is a hunter and loved this. He took it to work and his co-workers asked him to bring more the following day.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the beer taste was overwhelming in this recipe. I did not like it, but my husband thought it was ok.

Wonderful! great recipe- was looking for something to do with some venison that we were given and this perfect!! Like others had sugested I didn't use the two cups of water- and I added some bell peppers, but everything else was same. This will be a family keeper for sure, Thank you!!

I had to change it up a little based off what I had but it was still great. I used already cooked shredded venison instead of the ground and leftover Kalua Pig roast instead of cubed but I have no complaints whatsoever and I know it would be even better as written. Beans are a must for me with chili so that is something I will always add. Five stars all the way. Leave the seeds in the jalapeno if you like it spicy.
