Wild West Chili
My sister-in-law, who has cooked for many years at the family ranch, shared this hearty recipe with me. I make it often during the winter-it sure can warm you up after being outside doing chores!

First off, this is HAND'S DOWN, the best Chili I have ever had. Back in 2015 when my Sisters Mother-in-Law was laying sick, (and eventually being called home) my Sisters Co-Worker had brought over a giant pan of Chili. At first I thought it was odd looking with all the carrots and stuff in it. I am use to Mom's Chili growing up, which was your basics, Ground Beef, Chili Powder, Tomatos and Tomato Juice. That's how she still makes it to this day. However, once I tried this Wild West Chili, I couldn't stop eating it. I had to force myself not to have a 3rd bowl because the Chili was brought over for family and friends, not just ME! lol. Ok, so I use to find it so annoying when people would type in their reviews that "The only thing I would change"....But I realized that its not a bad thing. People are experimenting and making it their own.So, on that note here are the changes that I make. 1. I double up the Bacon of course. 2. I use one full cup of each of the veggies, (Carrots, Green Pepper, Onion & Celery) 3. I like my Chili a little more on the soupy side, so when I add the raw fresh veggies, I also add 2-5.5oz (Or 12 ounces) can's of Original Regular V-8 Juice. Ok, I am done rambling. THANK YOU to whoever created and then decided to share this amazing Chili Recipe.
Made just as stated except left out the cayenne pepper as we didn't have any in the house. This was possibly the BEST chili we ever ate. Only change I would make is to fry the bacon crispy & then add the venison.
I made this chili for my son's first birthday party which had a western theme. It was a hit! Everyone wanted the recipe. It was fine just as it was but I did add cumin and beer. Will definitely make it again. This is a keeper!
well, when the other half raves about a chili it has to be a winner. followed the recipe exactly and it was fine! will do again but will probably play with it a little. it will be a good football dinner dish.
