   4      pounds        Venison -- bite size

                        Chuck, well trimmed -- ground
   1      large         Onion -- chopped
   2                    Garlic cloves -- minced
   1      teaspoon      Oregano
   1      teaspoon      Cumin seed
   2      cups          Hot water
   6      teaspoons     Chili powder
   1 1/2  cups          Canned whole tomato
   2      dashes        Liquid hot pepper sauce
                        Salt to taste

Place meat, onion and garlic in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Cook until light colored. Add oregano, cumin, water, chili powder, tomatoes, hot pepper sauce (more or less to taste), and salt. Bring to a boil, lowering heat, and simmer for one hour. Skim off fat during cooking. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Even more fat can be removed if chili is stored in refrigerator, allowing fat to rise to the top and solidify, when it can be easily removed
