(Almost) Dad’s Chili… I hope I wasn’t supposed to keep this a secret!

This is my version of the chili my Dad makes but instead of ground beef I use BISON, sorry Dad for butchering your chili… but it’s so good this way!

Prep: 10 min

Cook: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground bison
• 1/2 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 16 oz canned diced tomatoes
• 16 oz can of Cento crushed tomatoes or Campbell’s Tomato Soup (my Dad uses the soup, I use the tomatoes).
• 28 oz of Cento Tomato Puree
• OPTIONAL: 1 can of kidney beans
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1/3 C chili powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 pinch of sugar
• 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Instructions:

1. Chop produce
2. Brown bison, onions, garlic, and bells in a large  pot on the stove, about 10 min. (their shouldn’t be much grease from bison so don’t worry about draining fat).
3. Add canned goods.
4. Add spices
5. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 2 hours.
6. Salt to taste at the end.

Serve with brown rice or Fritos and cheese… maybe even a little Tabasco  Easy to prep and freezes well!
