Nice - I make chilli quite often but not with venison. I imagine the flavour would be very good.

• 1/4 cup chili powder

I'm a chilli head but if I used this much of my hot chilli powder then I think there could be issues. I think though that chilli powder in the US may be milder than in the UK.

Our chili powder is mild. I ended up adding done crushed red pepper add well.

This is actually for my pre game dinner tomorrow night. I'll serve it with sliced jalapenos , sour cream, cheese, and green onions.

It depends on what time I get home from my second job today whether or not we make chili. Karen makes her version with beans and I make mine Texas style without beans. I usually use pure chili powders to make "chili powder" and add whole canned chipotles with some of the adobo.

The chili ended up a little milder than I liked so I cut up a habanero and jalapenos for people to spice up their individual bowls
