A perfect, simple chili that will work with most types of game meat (Nilgai, Antelope, Elk, Venison, etc) as well as plain old ground beef.
I made it with Nilgai and it is my new favorite way to eat Nilgai…

This was amazing! I added some avocado oil when browning the meat as my Nigali was very lean and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and a cup of beef stock so that I could have more juice. I made your cornbread recipe as the side and there was barely anything left for the next day. Huge hit!
