Cook Time: 60 minutes Difficulty: Easy Servings: 6 servings Source: Mark

INGREDIENTS​

1-1/2 pounds boneless bison chuck
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic , minced
2 16-ounce cans tomatoes, diced or crushed
1 cup beef broth
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups pinto beans
Dairy sour cream (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

DIRECTIONS​

1. Cut meat into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. In a dutch oven brown half of the meat in hot oil. Remove from pan. Brown remaining meat with the onion and garlic, adding more oil, if necessary. Drain off fat. Return all meat, onion, and garlic to pan.
3. Stir in the undrained tomatoes, the beef broth, green chili peppers, chili powder, brown sugar, oregano, cumin, and salt.
4. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or till meat is tender.
5. Add beans and at cook for 1/2 hour more.
If desired, top with sour cream or cheddar cheese.

NOTES​

Use ground dried chills vs chili powder (I like this!)
Use beer not broth (1/2 and 1/2 is best)
Roasted, peeled Anaheim chills are better than canned, but canned is good
Mix 1 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp oregano and add before serving
works well with beef

Made recipe yesterday. Used Bison chuck and fresh Hatch chilies. Not the best picture.

Mark, I feel bad not saying anything about your chili recipe. But, not being a fan of chili, I don't know what to say except thank you for posting the recipe. I wish more people here would do that. Not for me, but for Chris. Helps get more viewers and members.

No worries Joan.
