Easy Venison Chili with all the fixings

Is there anything more comforting than chili on a cold and rainy day? It is the ultimate comfort food. As soon as raindrops fall I immediately think of chili. There are a lot of variations of this recipe floating around, some people would call this taco soup – we call it chili. A warm bowl of chili after being out in the rain is one of life’s little pleasures. My husband is a deer hunter and each year we look forward to filling our freezer with fresh venison. Chili is a perfect way to use game meat. This recipe makes a lot of chili. We are Homesteaders and I am definitely meal planner and I love to cook once eat twice so half of this recipe will go in the freezer for another meal.
