Is cold. It's wet. I'm poor. It's chili time.
Cost per person, $2
Looks good!
What cornbread recipe is that, looks like a northern (sweet) variety (not criticising, I like 'em all).

Looks delicious! Sharing the recipe?
It's rather improvised. The basics were dicing some cube steak venison, browning it in bacon fat, adding carrots, onion and bell pepper. Once they were all cooked through I deglazed the pot with some beer. Added the garlic, chili powder and cumin and have that a quick cook before adding the orange juice and 14 oz of crushed tomatoes. I let it simmer for about two hours before twerking the flavor by adding more chili powder and cumin, salt and pepper, more orange juice, soy sauce, red wine vinegar. Tasting between each additional until I was happy with it. Then I added to drained but not rinsed cans of kidney beans.
Venison is tricky. It doesn't have enough fat on its own and you may need to add a bit of acid to balance any game flavor or brighten it up.
Twerking the flavour?
Kinky.
Tweaking. Speech to text got me.
