Bison Chili from Scratch image

Lean grass-fed bison, a bold spice blend, and slow-cooked goodness combine in this bison chili from scratch. An adaptation of a web recipe that approximates the 'little-brown-bag' spice mix using all-natural ingredients.

Time 12h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ pound dried red beans
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds ground bison
8 medium tomatoes, finely chopped, with liquid
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes, or more to taste
4 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup water
2 tablespoons masa flour, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Rinse beans. Combine with 3 quarts of cold water in a large pot. Soak 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain beans and return to the pot. Add 3 quarts fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until tender, 1 to 2 hours. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a 4-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, stir for a minute, then add bison and cook until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir tomatoes and liquid into stockpot.
  • Combine red pepper flakes, cumin, oregano, chili powder, sea salt, white pepper, and paprika in a small container and stir to mix. Add to the stockpot and stir through. Add 1 cup water and stir gently while bringing water to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
  • Taste bison mixture and adjust seasoning as desired. Add beans and mix through. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon masa flour on top and gently stir in to achieve a medium-thick consistency. Cover and simmer chili over low heat for 1 hour.
  • Uncover chili, stir, and add another tablespoon masa flour. Continue simmering, uncovered, over low heat to desired consistency, 60 to 90 minutes. Cover the pot or add a teaspoon of masa flour to control consistency.
