EASY ELK CHILI

This is from Cooking Light from a few years back most likely. You can also make using venison, buffalo or lean beef instead of elk. Make a day ahead and cool to room temperature then refrigerate. You can also freeze leftovers in individual freezer-safe zip-top plastic back for up to two months. Great for making ahead.
