Bison Campfire Chili with Beans

A homestyle favorite sweetened with brown sugar, and spiced up with chili seasoning. The addition of our juicy ground bison makes this dish as western as it can get.

2 lbs. ground Bison
1 28-ounce can Italian-style tomatoes, tomatoes chopped with juices
1 each 15 1/2 ounce can hot chili beans (with chipotle peppers) or other canned chili beans
1 ea. 15 1/2 ounce can of kidney beans
1 each 1.48 ounce package chili seasoning mix
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Sauté ground bison in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking up clumps with back of spoon until browned, about 7 minutes.

Add tomatoes with juices, beans, chili seasoning mix, onions, green peppers and brown sugar.

Bring chili to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened to desired consistency, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. For added heat use your favorite hot sauce.
