Rebekah's Competition Venison Black Bean Chili

Rebekah entered a chili cook off at the church and her chili was a big hit. Here's what she made:

Black Bean Venison Chili

5 pounds venison, cut into 1" cubes
1 onion, diced
olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 pints ro-tel tomatoes
1 quart whole tomatoes
2 pints black beans
1/4 cup chili powder
3 jalapeno peppers (she used home canned peppers, so they could just be smooshed into the pot)
Sautee the onions in olive oil just until tender, add garlic and simmer for just a minute. Brown the meat with the onions and garlic. Add the other ingredients and stir well. Simmer for at least 6 hours, until the meat is tender.
