Bison Chili
Make a pot of this easy, crowd-pleasing Bison Chili on a cold day or for your next tailgate party. If you prefer your chili with beans, grab a can of your favorite bean, rinse and add it to the recipe. Enjoy
Ingredients
- 2 pound Ground Bison may use ground beef as a substitute for Bison
- 2 Onions finely chopped
- 6 Cloves garlic, minced
- 2 small Serrano peppers, chopped
- 2 Red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 Yellow bell Pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Mustard powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 Tbsp Chili powder
- 2 cans (14.5oz) Fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 4 Cups Beef broth
Instructions
- First things first, mince the garlic and dice your onion, red and yellow and serrano peppers. If you have a chopper use your smallest square blade for the onions and peppers. I use mine for this recipe and consider it an essential in the kitchen when I am in a hurry. Grab your favorite soup pot or tall skillet and place it on your stove or cooktop. Heat the pot and add the ground bison, crumble and brown the meat.
- While the bison is browning combine the salt, ground black pepper, mustard powder, smoked paprika, cumin and chili powder in a small dish and set aside.
- Remove the browned bison from the pot with a slotted spoon to a dish on the side. Add the 2 tbsp of olive oil to your pot and add the onion, peppers and sauté them until the onions are translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and the spice mixture and sauté another 2 minutes
- Add the bison, broth, and fire roasted diced tomatoes to the pot and increase the heat to medium high and cook the chili. Once the chili comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for one hour.
- Serve and garnish the chili with your favorite toppings like cheese, avocado, chips, sour cream and more peppers. Serve it with skillet corn bread for a game day feast!
Notes
Please note that this recipe is slow cooker friendly. Simply add the browned bison, sautéed onions, peppers, garlic, spices, broth and fire roasted diced tomatoes to a crockpot and set on low for 4-6 hours.
