Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and bison until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer meat to a bowl.

  2. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute green bell pepper, onion, and garlic until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cooked meat. Add chili powder, chipotle powder, and cumin. Stir again. Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Stir well, reduce heat to low and simmer the chili for at least 25 minutes.

  3. Combine warm water and masa harina in a bowl. Pour into the chili. Continue simmering until thickened, about 10 minutes more. Season with salt.

Recipe Note

This hearty chipotle bison chili recipe is based on the one my mom used when I was growing up. It's perfect for cold winter nights or just when you want a little comfort food! It's great with any type of ground meat, even ground turkey. Serve topped with Fritos® and Cheddar cheese. This is also very good over cornbread.
