Lou's note: This is my brother-in-law, Marvin's recipe. It was published in Southern Living! The original recipe called for 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes, but that was really, really too hot. Also, I replaced the parsley originally called for in the recipe with cilantro and added an extra garlic clove. Lean beef can be substituted for venison. When Marvin has his deer processed, he has a bunch of it packaged with the pork as chili meat. Fortunately, he gives some to us.
