Friday Feast: Wild Game Chili for the Chilly

Friday Feast: Wild Game Chili for the Chilly

With the weather steadily becoming chilli-er there are a few things you probably don't feel like doing - trekking across town to the grocery store is probably one of them. So, what better way to wait out the cold this weekend than cozying up by the fire with a big bowl of wild game chili. 

A pot of this chili will warm you up in no time and leave you with leftovers that will last for days. Maybe even the week depending on who you're cooking for. The best thing about this recipe is that it can be made with almost any wild game you have left over in your freezer! How convenient is that? Grab that large pot and get cooking! Enjoy and keep warm out there.
