Buffalo Hatch Chile Chili
This chili uses unique ingredients to change up the classic chili flavor. Hatch chiles and buffalo/bison meat make up this chili.
Ingredients
- 2 lb buffalo/bison meat
- 4-5 hatch chiles
- 1 cup bell peppers diced
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 2 tbsp cumin
- 1 cup water or beef broth
- 15 oz fire roasted tomatoes
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- kosher or sea salt
Instructions
- Turn your broiler on and put the hatch chiles on a baking sheet. Let them sit under the heat until they've blackened and softened. Remove, peel the skin off, and dice.
- While they're broiling, saute your bell peppers in a large pot. Brown the meat in with the peppers. Salt a little here. Add in your diced hatch chiles.
- Pour in the water, tomatoes, tomato sauce, cumin, and chili powder. Salt a little more. Stir everything together, cover, and reduce heat to low. Allow it to simmer for at least an hour.
- When you're ready to serve, crank up the heat and let some of the excess liquid cook off for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Serve with your favorite chili toppings!
