4 pounds Caribou, chunked preferred or ground
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 teaspoons Cumin
1 cup Red wine, beef broth or beer
6 teaspoons Chili powder
1 1/2 cup Canned tomatoes and juice or small can tomato paste
2 teaspoons Liquid hot pepper sauce
OR
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt to taste
Directions:
Place meat, onion and garlic in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven.
Cook until light colored.
Add oregano, cumin, water, chili powder, tomatoes, hot pepper sauce
(more or less to taste),
and salt. Bring to a boil, lowering heat, and simmer for one hour.
Optionally, the sauce may be thickened with a little (1-2 tb.) Masa or Corn meal.
If possible, allow chili to cool and sit for at least 6 hours before
re-heating and serving.
It always tastes better the second day.
Unfortunately the Aldi had run out of Caribou...so had to make do with manky beef
