The Lean, Smoky Chili That Swaps Beef For A Richer Red Meat - Tasting Table
"When considering bison as a beef steak alternative, or stacking up ground bison next to ground beef, it's worth noting that the two are comparable in nutritional value, taste, and texture, with the exception that bison is lower in fat and calories. Ground bison might be a little bit more difficult to source, but this swap for basic beef is definitely worth seeking out to make the most of your next seasonal batch."
"Preparing this chili will provide a simple rebuttal to at least one bison myth you should stop believing, which is that the meat tastes "gamey." Melded into a pot of chili with all the trimmings, bison infuses a hint of subtle sweetness in flavor. Adding smoky ingredients will enrich your chili and enhance this taste for a more well-rounded chili that gets even more complex and satisfying than a typical beef variety."
"A picture-perfect bison chili can be made in a dutch oven or pot on the stovetop, your Instant Pot, or even a slow cooker. The choice is yours and the flavors that you add, enhance, and play with are entirely up to you. For a traditional bean and tomato-rich chili, it's imperative that you start first by browning your bison meat so that it's fully cooked through before combining it with any other ingredie"
Variations of classic beef chili include poultry, pork, and plant-based crumbles, but bison offers a leaner red-meat option. Bison and beef are comparable in nutrition, taste, and texture, with bison containing less fat and fewer calories. Ground bison can be harder to find but provides a worthwhile substitute for seasonal chili batches. Bison adds a subtle sweetness rather than a gamey flavor when combined with chili ingredients. Smoky components deepen the flavor profile and create a more rounded, complex chili. Bison chili can be prepared in a dutch oven, Instant Pot, slow cooker, or on the stovetop, and browning the meat first is imperative.
