I originally put this together for the traditional forum however I have seen a lot of venison in here and thought I would pass it along. This is a recipe that I have followed for a few years. You can ramp it up if you're looking for something hotter or easily tone it down if you don't like the heat.

(2) pounds coarsely ground venison
(20) slices of chopped bacon
(2) large onions
(2) large red bell peppers
(3) cloves garlic
(4) jalapenos
(1) serrano pepper
(2) dried chile peppers
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
(1) can of beer (dark)
(1) 12 ounce can tomato paste
(1) 14.5 ounce can peeled tomatoes
(2) 16 ounce can pinto beans

Toppings: Sour cream, sliced green onions, shredded monterey jack, sliced ripe olives.

Cook the bacon and reserve the drippings for the venison. Cook the venison with the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the bacon drippings. Once meat is browned stir in the bacon, and peppers.

Getting ready to chop the peppers.

I'll edit in the finished product later this evening.

Let's see some of your additions.
 
Wait a minute, the photos went from showing the whole peppers and a folder to being chopped. Did you chop those with that folder?
 
I prepared this entire meal with that little folder. I knew I would catch grief in here for not using a 16" knife on that damn serrano pepper.
 
Yep, that should have been machete work right there!
 
What a co-inky-dink, I made a pot of deer chili today too. Ain't nothing like a bowl of chili and a grilled cheese sammich'. Of course the wife made the sammich'. :D
 
Look's yummy! We make it all the time and love it. We also make Deer Spagetti, Jerky, Sausage, Burger's, Fried and in Gravy's. Deer is just good all the way around.:thumbup:
