In the fall we love to make soups, it’s definitely soup season. Here is an easy and healthy chili recipe. Something untraditional that I do with my chili is that I use ground bison instead of ground beef. Bison is a very lean meat, strong in protein, low in fat that is rich in vitamins and minerals, my husband originally introduced me to bison meat. Feel free to use the meat of your choice.

Ingredients :

• 2 pounds lean ground bison
• 1 onion diced
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 2 ½ tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
• 14.5 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
• 19 ounces canned red kidney beans drained and rinsed
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices
• 1 ½ cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• salt and black pepper to taste.

Instructions:

1.Combine ground bison and 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder.

2. In a large pot, brown ground bison, onion and garlic.

3. Add in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 45-60 minutes or until chili has reached desired thickness.

4. Top with cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro or other favorite toppings.

Optional Garnishes :
Shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
