Bison Sweet Potato Chili

Say hello to my little friend:

Bison Sweet Potato Chili. 

There are almost no words for this one... A hint of spicy, a hint of sweet... It is good enough that I have been making this and eating it weekly, and it is Summer time here.

Truly, if I could marry a meal, this would be it. 

 MmmmHmmm. That good.

Awwww yeeeeah. Shit just got real. Let's dive right in.

Here's what you need:

• 1/2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
• 1 lb pound ground bison 
• 1 lb 90-93% lean ground beef
• 1 diced onion 
• 2 bell peppers, chopped  
• 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes 
• 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, not drained 
• 1.5 cups beef stock 
• 1.5 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced 
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar (optional) 
• 1 Tbsp chili powder 
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp sea salt 
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

1. Cook ground meats thoroughly in large pot, until no longer pink. Add onion and  peppers and cook 3 minutes.
2. Add all other ingredients and stir well.  
3. Cover and reduce heat to low or a slight simmer. Cook 45 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender enough to stick a fork through. Taste test and add more seasoning to taste, if needed.  Serve and enjoy!

NOTE: If you like your chili a bit thicker, go ahead and thicken it up a bit with some cornstarch and cold water. 😉
