Easy Venison Chili

Kenny and his brother both have some type of sensitivity to ketchup, tomato sauce, or spaghetti sauce; they break out in a sweat.  The reason I tell you this is because the original Chili recipe from Campbell’s Healthy Request Healthy Cooking Made Easy was made with Condensed Tomato Soup and water.  This was one tomato-based meal that didn’t leave him drenched, until I doctored it up.

Tonight, he sweated, but ate the chili.  I have switched up the soup to V8 spicy hot juice and added in Rotel – Chili fixing tomatoes and green chilies.

This recipe won a chili cook off once.  I did though make it a lot spicier and added in a secret ingredient or two.  One a cook doesn’t give out the secrets; really, I can’t remember all of the extras I added in to give it the kick.

This meal is low carb when served over cauliflower rice or eaten by itself.  My Fitness Pal nutritional break down without rice: Serves 8 serving size is about 1 ½ cups.  My Fitness Pal is an approximate.

The secret to cooking venison is how you soak it the day before you cook it.  Granny taught us to soak the meat in saltwater the night before.  She also used milk.
