Chili Ingredients

Method

Chili Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and diced carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Bison

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground bison, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth to the pot. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the chili is ready, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Salad Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

  2. 7

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  3. 8

    Toss and Serve

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve alongside the bison chili.
