Lous note: This is my brother-in-law, Marvins recipe. It was published in but that was really, really too hot. Also, I replaced the parsley originally called for in the recipe with cilantro and added an extra garlic clove. Lean beef can be substituted for venison. When Marvin has his deer processed, he has a bunch of it packaged with the pork as chili meat.

Fortunately, he gives some to us.
