Best Ground Bison Chili Recipe
When the nights get “chilly”, a warm, hearty bowl of chili is just what you need. Replace beans with sweet potatoes for a dish that’s as nourishing as it is comforting.
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic (grated)
- 2 pounds ground bison
- 2 sweet potatoes (diced)
- 2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 4 ounces canned green chilies (undrained)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup water
- Avocado (sliced, for toppings)
Instruction:
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Pour everything into a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Bring the skillet back up to medium-high heat, and add in the bison. Using a wooden spoon, break it up into crumbles. Add salt and pepper. Cook until the bison starts to brown. Pour the skillet contents into a slow cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients (minus the toppings) to the slow cooker and stir everything together. Cover with the lid and cook on high heat for about 4 hours (or low for 6-7 hours), or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Top with sliced avocado, and serve.
