Heartwarming BBQ Bison Chili. I am going to hurry up and get this bison recipe down without any more dilly dally, not that I have much to say anyways.
This BBQ Bison Chili is on point. It uses bacon, bison, honey BBQ sauce, and other great stuff. Plus, it is paleo, but non-paleo people like it too (just ask my friends, haha). I had it for breakfast last week over cauliflower rice and with melted cheddar on top. It’s very strange for me not to gear my breakfast towards the sweeter side, so you know this has to be tasty for me to want to eat it for breakfast.

Heartwarming BBQ Bison Chili
Whether with or without beans, I think we’ll all agree that nothing quite warms like a heartwarming homemade BBQ Bison Chili.
Ingredients
8 slices bacon
½ large red onion - chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced- 2 large parsnips - chopped (about 2 cups)
1 large sweet potato - chopped (about 2 cups)- 5 medium rainbow carrots - chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1 pound ground bison
2 cups mushrooms
1 cup tomato - canned whole peeled or puree- 1 can tomato - diced
- ⅓ cup gluten salt, and soy-free honey BBQ sauce - (I used Mr. Spice Organic brand)
½ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large pot until almost crispy. Set aside.
- Over medium heat, cook onion and garlic until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the parsnips, potato, carrots, and ½ cup of water to the pot and cover.
- Cook until the vegetables are fork-tender, 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add your bison to a large pan over medium heat, and cook until almost cooked through (there should still be a little pink). Be sure to use your spatula to break up the meat into small pieces.
- Chop your bacon.
- Add the bison, mushrooms, bacon, and remaining ingredients (canned tomatoes through seasoning) to the pot of vegetables, and stir to evenly distribute everything. Let cook on low for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld and a bit of the liquid evaporate.
- Serve! This is great with melted cheese on top (not so paleo) and with cauliflower rice (or your favorite grain, or toasted bread).
