I've posted this before. I add a small can of Chipotle Chili's in adobo sauce (chop the peppers) and a small can of diced jalapeno peppers. You can "customize" the base recipe, however you want.
Red Game Meat Chili
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs. ground game meat
3 cups diced onion
2 cups sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups diced tomatoes w/juice (canned diced tomatoes)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup dry red wine (cabernet sauvignon or merlot)
1 Tbsp beef base (this is a little jar of paste you find at the grocery store)
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp cinnamon
3 cups canned kidney beans, drained (optional)
For serving:
Garnish with shredded swiss cheese, sour cream
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add meat, garlic, onions and celery. Cook until meat is browned. Add remaining ingredients, except kidney beans, and cover.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 1 ½ hours. Add kidney beans, combine and bake for 1 more hour (optional). Adjust chili powder or red pepper flakes to taste. (This is not going to have a thick sauce.)
Note:
Feel free to experiment by adding chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, jalapeno’s etc. to the ingredients.
