Brown the venison (or other wild game) with some butter. Venison tends to
be somewhat dry, so add butter as needed. Drain well. Add to 6-8 quart
slow cooker. (A large pot on the stove will work, but overnight cooking
is preferred). Add other ingredients, mixing well. Add only enough water
to prevent burning. Cook covered for 2 hours at boil. Reduce heat to
~200 degrees and cook until you can't keep everyone away. Consistency
should be fairly thick. Cook uncovered if too thin.
Top with shredded cheese of choice and serve with fresh cornbread.
Freezes well if any left over.
