This weekend I decided to make up my own chili recipe, and I have to admit, it turned out rather well. In the usual Danica style of cooking I looked at a bunch of chili recipes and mixed together all the ingredients I liked, plus a few other things. I have no idea what the actual proportions were for most things, but here is a rough approximation of my chili recipe:
1 lb bison meat
1/2 can kidney beans
1/2 can white beans
1/2 can corn
1/4 red bell pepper
1 small sweet potato
1/2 zucchini
4 cloves garlic
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
black pepper
oregano
tabasco sauce
I cooked the meat, then added the beans, veggies (except the sweet potatoes), and spices. I cooked the veggies until they were tender and added various spices to taste. I put it all in a crock pot, cooked then added the sweet potatoes, left it in the crock pot for a few hours, then served over brown rice. And yes, I used bison meat. It is no more expensive and way healthier (no growth hormones or antibiotics), and presumably more humanely raised than beef. It might be more expensive and harder to find in other parts of the country. It could most likely be replaced with beef, ground turkey, or veggie crumbles (like from morning star farms).
