Tabasco™)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 package shredded Cheddar

cheese

When traveling I put all of the spices together and crycovac them and also the vegetables in separate cryovacs. Do not put the spicy peppers in with the mild vegetables

I cook this every time our group go's to Canada!.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.

2. Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day. Tim Kates * Kansas

BULGOKI

3# venison cut into strips

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup corn oil

3tbsp ground sesame seeds

1 bundle chopped green onions

1tsb garlic salt

1 tsp black pepper

Marinade overnight and grill to taste

Corn oil blends(and tastes) best for marinade,. I also crush the Sesame seeds to maximize flavor. Also have found that there is a Sesame Butter called Tahini

that can be found in Health Food at Hy Vee. I have found that it pays to cut the strips long and wide enough that they won't fall through the grill slots.

Transforms venison, women like it. Last batch I did, I quadrupled and barely got it off the grill before it was consumed.

Leftovers.(if you are lucky enough to have some).Put in zip-lock baggie with a little marinade

Poke a couple of holes, nuke to warm up. It's even better. Al McAlpin * Cedar Falls, Iowa
