Bison Chili
"I love this chili- It's thick and it's perfect for a snowy day. I love to cook with fresh ingredients, but somehow this recipe, which I grew up on (sub ground beef), does NOT taste as good! So go for it and make it easy on yourself... no cutting needed! I add Sriracha to it to spice it up a bit, but that is what's so great about chili... just keep adding things till it's "perfect""

This is a good chili recipe! Mine was delicious the first day out. I agree, that adding to the list of ingredients is a fun way to cook. What I added: lamb shoulder, carrot juice, and baby carrots. A glass of pinot from Burgundy was a terrific pairing.
