Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground bison

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened.

    Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. Combine Ingredients

    Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

    Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve the Chili

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your choice of toppings.

    Consider garnishing with cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
