Steepens Accidental Chili I Made It

Steepens Accidental Chili

Accidental Chili

I used the crock pot for this and it worked great!

This is another "off board" friend of mine, so I was happy to see him post his first recipe!

He's got lil ones and I can see them loving this soup/stew/chili. IT's very mild and the added veggies are always a good thing to get kids to eat up the good stuff!

I did use ground venison instead of chicken since I JUST made my own chicken chili. It worked great, here. I used mostly corn, as I don't have a lot of frozen veggies, which added to the already mild flavor, so I did up the heat a bit, and added plenty of fresh ground pepper.

I pretty much doubled this recipe(used 1.5lbs of venison) and prolly added a few extra mushrooms. I used 1 each of mini sweet red, orange and yellow peppers. Also adding to the sweetness.

Black beans are our favorite bean, and we loved them, here. I don't use them in my "traditional" chili, but they're always great with corn and tomatoes, so perfect fit.

I also don't have ketchup in the house, we just never use it, but I do have Heinz(of course ;) chili sauce which is basically a "spicy ketchup", so I used that.

I served it with creama and chives.... grated cheese would be a nice addition, but we didn't wanna take it TOO far into chili territory. But, that said, I did serve it with cornbread crackers. hehehe

I thought this looked pretty tasty. I was wondering about the ketchup. It seemed like kind of an odd ingredient for chili. The chili sauce is a great idea.

We do like ketchup, but I also like the chili sauce sub. That is one great looking pic Keni! Is creama like creme fraisce or sour cream or something?

Thanks guys! I try to take decent pics of other peoples' recipes ... I worry about them much more than my own!

Mexican crema is like a non tangy sour cream, kinda... it's almost buttery ... just smooth and creamy and mild. I've been preferring using it and lime juice in place of sour cream, lately ... it's certainly richer than sour cream, but, again, it doesn't have the acidity.
