Hey all, had an elk chuck roast out with the intent of smoking it! Well, as per usual the forecast changed and the day I planned to smoke it, Ma Nature decided to give us some gusty winds and rain! I guess this may be a sign of getting older, but decided I wasn’t going to battle that!

Anyway, things were moved indoors! So, the always reliable CI skillet got the call to get things started!

Cubed up the elk!

Hit it with some Kinder’s!

Browned the elk up a bit with a little bacon grease!

Had to do some taste testing, not too bad for an ol redneck cooking!
Here are the other players for the redneck chili…

Got the elk and these in the lined crockpot! BTW, these crockpot liners are awesome… makes cleanup so easy! Why can’t I think of something like that? 🤔🤣

So, everything getting together in the crockpot, but wait… I am forgetting something!?! Oh yea, fresh garlic… can’t forget that! Also added a few more shakes of the Kinder’s!

Let this simmer for a few hours! As it was almost done, tossed some bacon in the CI for a topping!

Wife oven baked some garlic bread and we were ready to dish up!

Here’s what we ended up with, was tasty for a meal that was not intended to be an indoor cook… but when Ma Nature decides to rain on your plans… this was not a bad alternative! And with the cooler than expected temps, it hit the spot!

Redneck chili with a bacon crumble topping and garlic bread!

Justin that chili looks great. Mother Nature doesn't always like to play nice. She has a way of reminding us who in charge.

Point for sure

Thanks Keith for the kind words and like! Sounds as if you’d fit right in at our house! I can always here Jeff Foxworthy in my head…. “You can’t make fun of rednecks unless you are one…. And I are one!”

Awesome Justin! Good call on staying out of the gusty rain! Not a sign of being old in a bad way, it’s gaining wisdom! Easy to be hard, tough to be smart! Great looking chili! More PR for Elk hunting🤣
