We don't just love to hunt and fish, we live off of the animals and fish we harvest. We have replaced beef, chicken, and super market fish with elk and deer, pike, walleye, and perch, and grouse, pheasant, and huns. We love to cook so here are some WILD Recipes from Northern Idaho!
Ken's HOT Elk Chili - January 18, 2009
Added by:

Ken's HOT Elk Chiliis a recipe given to me by my Grandmother a Swedish woman who knows her way around a good meal. I of course changed a few things to spice it up and give it my type of kick.
1lb of Elk Burger 1 - 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes 2 - 14 1/2 oz cans of Kidney Beans 2 - 14 1/2 oz can of spiced chili beans 2 - 10 oz cans of tomato sauce 1 - medium onion 2 - celery stocks 1 - pack of chili seasoning (also have additional chili powder on hand to season to taste) 1 - jar of deli sliced hot jalapeno's
First start out by browning the burger with diced onion and diced celery. I like to leave my burger clumped together for bigger chunks in the chili. You will want to dice half of the onion (which you brown with the burger) and chop the other half which you will add to the mixture this way you will have big chunks of onion in the chili.
Second we will make the chili mixture. Use a large pot and add your peeled tomatoes, kidney beans, chili beans, tomato sauce, and large chopped onions. Now you will have to get your hands dirty, wash your hands first then use your fingers to break up the peeled tomatoes. Once all the peeled tomatoes are broken up you can turn your burner on med-high and add the burger mixture and the packet of chili seasoning. This is my secret ingredient use half of a jar of deli sliced hot jalapeno juice, and then take out a quarter of the jar of jalapeno's and dice them and add them to the mixture. Now let's spice it up! Break out the Cayenne Pepper and season to your favorite heat level.
I like to serve this meal with bread and butter, but you can also use corn bread.
