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).
