I kept this chili recipe pretty standard to help the flavor of the ground bison blend in with the flavors we expect from chili, as some tend to find the taste of bison a little gamy. It's a lean meat, and I've added only a small amount of healthy fat so that the chili is filling without being heavy. Bison is lower in calories and fat than most other meats while simultaneously being higher in iron.
