Here in PA we use venison in chilli all the time. Lots of cuts from a deer that are fit only for such as grinding for sausage and fine chopping for stews and chilli. I also like to mix venison with ground beef, 60% venison 30% lean ground beef and 10% tallow. Makes excellent hamburger patties and meatloaf. Also good for hamburgerhelper style dishs in the skillet. Ground venison is also good in pasta sauces, brown it with onions and lightly season, then add it to your suace base. MM MM good!! and it is lean and healthy. So don't let it dry out while cooking.
