I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the bison.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili powder than the recipe called for. Other than that, it was a great dish.
