Man that sounds pretty good .

Well except the cheat mix you use .

christ are you cooking for an army? I just made chili yesterday.... my chili is always a bit different, the base is the same but the ingredients vary... haha! CHEATER....!

yeah yeah, call it cheat mix but after making my own and never getting the consistent quality from batch to batch, I decided to try McCormiks and was pleased with it. I added the ground mustard powder to get it closer to my chilli mix and I think it's just as good.

If available, I'll substitute game meat [deer, elk, etc] into the chilli for a more chunky texture but you need to really tendorize it well first. I tried mixing some sausage into the gound beef awhile back and it just didnt sing to me.

it'schili.... it's a garbage soup IMO, meaning leftovers and whatever else you can get your hands on... I do not think I have EVER made a pot of chili the same in my whole life... but I guess it doesn't have to be a garbage soup....

we made deer chili on our camping trip...funny we used mccormick seasoning....green red yellow bell peppers and onions ...let it cook on the campfire all day...was REALLY good
