alright folks, this is
the end all be all chili. the first time i had this chili at my friend katie's house, i was a convert. chili has never really been my favorite, but
this chili is so freaking good that sam and i make it once a week. it's sweet and spicy (if you add the jalapeno, which i always do). heaven in your mouth. you cook it in the crockpot, so it's a perfect sunday dinner (would be great for the superbowl this weekend). without further adieu:
bison chili
1.5 to 2 pounds ground bison (i usually do 1.5 of bison or grass-fed beef)
2 cans kidney beans rinsed
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion diced
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1/2 ketchup
1-2 jalapenos (optional) diced
1 T oregano
1 T chili powder
3 T liquid smoke
2 T honey
brown meat with diced onion, then drain. add meat, beans and tomatoes to crock pot. then add the rest of the ingredients. cook on medium for four hours. enjoy!

This sounds fantastic! I'm so glad you posted it! Do you have a recommendation for the best place to actually find bison? Whole Foods?
Yes, I'm wondering where to find bison as well. Also, what in the world is liquid smoke? It sounds fancy.
This looks so good to me! I need a bowl to counteract the impending snow.
re: paige and shaunna
we get our bison at whole foods. it's fresh and grass-fed
re: shaunna
liquid smoke gives food a smokey flavor and is awesome for cooking. you'll love it. we also get this at whole foods. it's all natural.
happy cooking!
Tasty!! I have a random question, were you in the last rue magazine? You and your husband? There was a couple that looked similar to you.
re: design blooms
yes, that was us. hammin' it up!
Ok, thanks! I'll have to see if ours has it!
It's not often we see bison at the market, though I always keep my eyes peeled -- a treat when we can find it! I bet my fiancée would take this chili one step further by skipping the liquid smoke, and instead smoking the bison in our smoker outside, then shredding it. Sounds excellent to me!

I'm scared to look up what "bison" actually is. Are we talking those bull-like creatures? omg.
YUM! such a unique take on a classic dish - i must try this!
Chili is so perfect for this time of year. I'm going to go make some to take advantage of the cold before spring comes!
I love the onion topping in the picture - I need to try that. We've also made it with venison or if you can't find that or bison, we've used ground beef as well (just make sure it's super lean).
