This hearty bison chili recipe is a cold-weather favorite. Ancho and chipotle chiles, along with a bit of cocoa powder, give the chili a deep, robust flavor. It’s delicious served with chopped fresh onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
This chili cooks low and slow in the oven, but if you’d prefer, you can toss all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Just brown the meat and sauté the onion, bell peppers, and garlic first. It should be ready in about 4 hours when you set the slow cooker to high heat or about 7 when you set it to low.
