This White Gator Chili will knock your socks off! 

Some days I am just really lazy and want a recipe I can throw in the slow cooker and forget about. I want these recipes to produce a tender meat and have a ton of flavor. This recipe did not disappoint. In fact, this might be one of my favorite recipes.

This is a similar vibe to a white bean or white chicken chili. Gator has a very similar flavor profile to chicken and does amazing in this recipe. The gator is so tender and absorbs all the flavors to take your taste buds on a delightful journey. 

You can also make this in an instant pot or on the stove, however I prefer the lazy leave it and forget it method. 

Don’t forget your toppings in this recipe! The lime juice and zest plus the tortilla chips really bring the recipe full circle. ENJOY!

This Venison Chili Cornbread Casserole is so delicious. It will be an absolute hit for any age that eats it.

Growing up my father always used the 2 Alarm Chili Kit. I like this kit because it gives several options to spice it up. You can add beans, tomatoes, whatever you want in your chili and trust me it will be amazing. I also like that it uses masa to thicken the chili. I think this adds a delicious layer to the mix that is unusual to many mixes.

Being that it is getting a little cooler outside, I was craving chili. I don’t know about y’all but I like cornbread with my chili. A plain chili is easy to make by itself, but I thought, what if I combined the chili and cornbread? It is super easy to make, and I think it is the most delicious pair. The cornbread is thinner than if it was made in a pan or muffin tin. It gets a crisp outer coat, but the moisture from the chili keeps the insides soft.

The simmer that the 2 Alarm chili calls for not only makes the venison absorb flavor, but it also tenderizes the meat to perfection. There are so many ways to make this dish your own. You can use your favorite chili recipe or kit. You can use your own cornbread recipe or box. Just know that the cornbread is how this recipe is made. The time and temperature in the oven is according to the cornbread. The chili is already cooked, so you are basically baking it to cornbread perfection.

This is a delicious recipe that has no frills. It is easy and delicious. I hope y’all enjoy it as much as we did.
