Bison Chili

This protein-packed bison and bean chili recipe is bursting with sweet and smoky flavors.

This week is all about trying a new lean protein source at dinner which is why I’m thrilled to share this Meaty Bison Chili. Don’t get me wrong, I love cooking with chicken and ground turkey but there are many other options that are equally nutritious and flavorful.

Your spoon is waiting.
