A favorite here at the Lodge for Skiers Buffet and a great way to warm up on a cold Halloween weekend.
Stein Eriksen Lodge Wild Game Chili:
2 gallons
¼ cup olive oil or corn oil
2 lbs buffalo, diced in ¾” cubes
2 lbs elk or venison, diced in ¾” cubes
2 lbs wild boar or pork, diced in ¾” cubes

6 cloves garlic, chopped
4 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoon black pepper

2 bay leaves
36 ounce tomato juice
6 – 12 oz cans diced tomatoes
4 ½ cups beef stock or three 12-ounce cans of beer
½ gallon water
Method:
- Mix all the dry spices together and use half the mixture to season the meat.
- Heat oil in pan (it can’t get hot enough)
- Brown meat 10 – 15 minutes in the pan
- Add onions and garlic, sauté 3-4 minutes
- Add coffee, tomato juice, bay leaf, diced tomatoes, remainder of spice mixture, stock or beer, and water
- Simmer for 2-3 hours, until meat is tender
- You may have to adjust consistency with more stock or beer and check seasonings
- Garnish with sour cream & green onions
