This chili is great for cold fall days and watching football with friends with a few beers.

Steps

1 hour

1

Using a large frying pan, sautee the steaks and brats on medium heat.
2

If useing garden tomatoes. Preheat oven to 350. Cut tomatoes in half and place them cut side down onto oiled cookie sheet. Drizzle oil onto tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Roast in oven for 20 minutes.
3

Remove steaks at medium doneness leaving the brats and juices. Sautee the ground venison until medium.
4

Cut steaks into 1/2" pieces and put into crockpot. Add ground venison and all the cooking juices. (Venison is very lean so it is juices not fat). Leave alone for 10 minutes so the meat reassorbs the juices.
5

Sautee brats longer until slightly charred. Then slice into 1/2" pieces and add to crockpot
6

Take tomatoes out of oven. Using two forks, so you don't burn yourself, peel skin off and discard. Pour all juices and tomatoes into crockpot.
7

Chop the peppers into 1/2" pieces and put into crockpot. Drain beans and corn and put them into crockpot.
8

Add remaining ingredients except paste and stir till combined.
9

Heat on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. I enjoy this chili over a slice of corn bread.

After halfway cooking you can add paste if chili is too thin. Also can add jalapenos and/or your favorite hot sauce to heat things up.
