    Description

    While most chilis utilize beef, this recipe relies on its leaner cousin, ground bison. The flavor is more robust but with less fat.

    Things To Grab

    • Dutch oven
    • Wooden spoon
    • Large baking sheet
    • Aluminum foil
    • Vegetable brush
    • Dinner fork

    Directions

    1. In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over low heat until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bison and cook over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks, until well browned.
    2. Stir in beer, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili beans, chili powder, cumin and hot sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 1 hour. Season with salt to taste.

    3. Meanwhile, prepare Baked Potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Scrub potatoes with a brush under running water. Using a dinner fork, poke holes through the skin of the potatoes. Coat potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and place potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Bake 1 hour or until there is no resistance when a potato is poked with a knife.

    4. Slice Baked Potatoes in half. Serve chili over potato halves topped with sour cream, cheese and green onions.
