Venison Chili  

Submitted by: Michelle Marble

• 1 lb ground venison
• 1 med. onion, chopped
• 1 cup water
• 1-16 oz can crushed tomatoes, undrained
• 1-15 oz can kidney beans, undrained
• 1-8 oz can tomato sauce
• 1-6 oz can tomato paste
• 2 to 4 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 cup beer or dry white wine
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 bay leaf

Brown venison and onion in a small amount of oil. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer uncovered 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Add additional water if necessary. Remove and discard bay leaf. about 8 cups of chili.

(Good with beef, too. As always, I recommend fresh parsley - 3 times as much as the recipe calls for. It's too easy to grow parsley in So. MD to not have a few plants in the flower bed!)
