- For more flavor, make this bison chili the night before and serve the next day. The flavors will settle in.
Use only one kind of bean if you prefer. - This isn’t a thick chili, however it will reduce down as it cooks.
- Only 2 tsp of chili powder is used so it’s not too spicy for others but feel free to increase the chili powder for an extra kick.
- This recipe makes 4-6 servings.
