Bison Chili Recipe: Get Out of the Ground Beef Chili Rut & Make This Bison & Butternut Squash Chili Recipe

This is an amazing chili recipe made with bison and butternut squash! I need to state off the bat that I always make extra food, especially soup and chili. I LOVE LEFTOVERS. This bison chili recipe requires the use of two dutch ovens. You can half this recipe and use just one dutch oven, but it's so good you might want to make the larger batch.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 to 2 1/2 hours
Total Time: 2 1/2 to 3 hours

Ingredients

Here's how you make it:

  1. Heat large dutch oven (or two!) over medium-high heat. Coat with a bit of olive oil and add bison to the pan to begin sautéing. Sprinkle with salt and continue sautéing until the bison is browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove beef and set aside in large bowl.
  2. Add a smidge more olive oil to the pan and add your onion and bell pepper. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the can of tomato paste, garlic and jalapeño. Sauté another few minutes. Add wine and let it boil (this should happen almost immediately). Scrape up all of the goodness on the bottom of the pan and let reduce until the wine is almost soaked into your vegetable mixture. Once almost entirely reduced, return bison to the pan.
  3. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except the garnishes) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium/medium-low, cover and let simmer for as long as you like, but at least 90 minutes to 2 hours. I like to cook soups as long as possible as they get really stew-y and infused with flavor. Transfer to bowls and top with garnishes of your choice.
