BISON CAMPFIRE CHILI WITH BEANS

A home-style favorite sweetened with brown sugar, and spiced up with chili seasoning. The addition of our juicy ground bison makes this dish as western as it can get.

• 2 lb ground bison

• 28 oz Italian-style tomatoes, chopped with juices

• 15½ oz hot chili beans (with chipotle peppers)

• 15½ oz kidney beans

• 1½ oz chili seasoning mix

• 1/2 cup onions, chopped

• 1/2 cup green peppers, chopped

1. Sauté ground bison in a heavy large pot, or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, breaking up clumps with back of spoon until browned, about 7 minutes.

2. Add tomatoes with juices, beans, chili seasoning mix, onions, green peppers, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until thickened to desired consistency. Stir occasionally, for about 40 minutes.
