Karen‘s “flying-d” Bison Chili Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

2. 2

   Brown the Bison

   Add the ground bison to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Spices

   Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

4. 4

   Combine Remaining Ingredients

   Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, beef broth, and jalapeño (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Simmer the Chili

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For deeper flavor, simmer for up to 1 hour.

6. 6

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in bowls or cups, garnished with your choice of toppings like cheese, sour cream, or fresh herbs.
