I like to mix ground venison in my chili with my ground beef. I start out with pinto beans that I made for the night before in a crock pot. We will usually have beans and cornbread one night and the next I will make chili. I add the meat to the beans, then add two cans of kidney beans, two cans of tomatoes and sometimes some corn for variety. That's it, besides the chili powder, onion and garlic powder. I think.
