Teaspoon Dried oregano  
Tablespoon Chopped garlic  
Cup Crushed tomatoes  
/2 Cup Tomato paste  
Cup Beef stock  
Tablespoon Masa flour  
−1/2 Pound Shoestring potatoes  
/2 Pound Grated Cheddar cheese  
/2 Pound Grated Monterey Jack cheese  
Cup Sour cream  
/2 Cup Pickled jalapenos  
Preheat the fryer. In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil  
is hot, add the onions and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables  
start to wilt. Season with salt and cayenne. Stir in the venison, chili  
powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and oregano. Brown the meat for 5 to 6  
minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, and 2 1/2 cups beef  
stock. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the  
liquid, uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until the venison is  
tender. Skim off the fat occasionally. Mix the masa and remaining stock  
together. Slowly stir in the masa slurry and continue to cook for 30  
minutes. Reseason with salt and cayenne. Fry the shoestring potatoes in  
batches until golden−brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shoestrings  
from the oil and drain on a paper−lined plate. Season the fries with salt  
and pepper. Cover the bottom of a large, glass rectangular pan with the  
shoestrings. Sprinkle 3 cups of the two cheeses over the fries. Place the  
fries in the oven and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the cheese melts.  
Remove the pan from the oven and spoon the chili over the top of the fries.  
Garnish with the remaining cheese, sour cream and jalapenos. This recipe  
yields 6 to 8 servings.
