"The original recipe served 16, and came from a friend on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, that she apparently got from friends in the Louisiana Bayou. I've made it smaller and made a few adjustments to it, with excellent results. If you are of the "no beans in chili" school, you can leave out the pintos and add another pound of ground venison. I was always taught you only add beans to chili if you don't have or can't afford enough meat, which is usually the case at my house."
