So we had a mix-up at the processor and ended up with a LOT of chili meat. I love chili. I make a lot of chili. But I will not be able to make all this meat into chili.

Besides giving it away for Christmas (will probably do that too), what are some good recipes you have utilizing chili meat besides the obvious?

Can't just re-grind into a finer grind for ground and sausage?

Take some beef chili meat and grind the two together to make ground venison/beef mix for tacos.

Venison stroganoff

Literally anything else that you would use regular ground meat for.

Meatloaf

Tacos, meatloaf, monkey heads...anything you'd use ground for.

if you have kids hamburger helper. mine loved the stuff growing up and cheap

Prepare meat as you would for tacos.
take a crescent roll that is separated along the "dotted" lines
Fill with meat
Fold over until it makes a little pie
Bake as directed on can
Drizzle a jalapeo ranch concoction ( like from Chuy's) and enjoy

Shepards pie

enchiladas

mix with bacon for hamburgers

I used some coconut curry sauce, onion, potato, and carrot with venison sausage plus some other Indian spices and white rice the other day. it came out really well

Great thread! My first deer this year I ended up with 25 packs of frozen chili meat.

Yeah we're doing that already, I just thought it would be fun to get some other recipes I might not have thought of. Mmmm stroganoff...Shep pie... that Crescent roll thingy...wouldn't have thought of either of those.

We do HB helper all the time - kids love it and it's a meal they can cook when it's their night to cook for Mom & Dad.

The crescent roll thingy can officially be called "***** Meat Pies*****. What

Mix 3/4 ground to 1/4 pan sausage for burgers. Really good.

This

Use the Fiesta Carne Guisada seasoning. Super easy and surprisingly good. Just make sure you simmer it long enough so it is extra tender. The chili grind is a good texture

Edit: Ok, it's not real Carne Guisada but it is very tasty. Growing up in South Texas with multiple hole in wall TexMex restaurants as a baseline, I was impressed with the Fiesta easy version.

Stew of any sort.

Lasagna

Chili meat can not be used for Carne Guisada or Stroganoff. HTH

Carne Guisada all day.
