Paleo Bison Chili

Bison Chili

We had our friends from PaleoSchmaleo stop by to share a recipe with us today. Personally, we are huge fans of bison meat and we’re glad others are helping to spread the message of its deliciousness. This might upset a few people, but when we have the choice of bison meat vs. beef, we always choose bison. Just in case you are wondering, we get all of our bison including for this bison chili from US Wellness Meats.

WAIT!  Just because it says Bison Chili, don’t run! Some people can be a little gun shy at trying different things. You have to try this yummy stew! Our Bison Chili is so easy to make and so good your taste buds will dance; promise! AND it’s Whole 30 and 21DSD approved so if you have never had bison, now is the time to try it.

Here are some not so common facts about bison you may or may not already know.

  • It is much leaner and packs a lot more protein than typical cow beef.
  • Has less cholesterol and a higher ratio of fatty acids similar to  Omega 3’s compared to beef.
  • Bison is the only red meat that is non-allergenic.

In short, bison or bison chili, in this case, is the holy grail of red meat. It’s like feeding your body the “premium” gas rather than 87. Your body will thank you as it’s cruising right along in this thing we call life.

Did you know Bison is the only non-allergenic red meat

Can you guess what the best part about this recipe is? CROCKPOT! Yup, you get to set it and forget it! We love crockpot recipes. For us working gals, it is seriously the best way to make a tasty meal with little to no effort! Dinner for the WIN! You’re welcome.

    This was delicious! I used the instant pot, as someone else here suggested (30 minutes on high pressure). My husband said this chili could be entered into a competition. It was so good. Will definitely make it again.

    I’ve made this recipe countless times. It is delicious! I crave it in the winter months. Instead of the crockpot, I put it in the instant pot for 30 minutes high pressure. So yummy!!

    This is DELICIOUS but did it have the same effect on everyone else or is it just me? (No laxative needed.)

    I am thrilled to see you post a recipe for my all time favorite protein! I am definitely making this!
    I’d love to see what you would do with bison for breakfast or a meatloaf.
