Ingredients
- 1 lb ground bison
- 15 oz black beans or one can
- 15 oz pinto beans or one can
- 15 oz kidney beans or one can
- 15 oz corn or one can
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock can use vegetable or chicken stock as well
- 1/2 onion finely diced

- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder add more if you like it spicy
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- salsa optional
Instructions
- Heat up your pan on medium-high heat then add your oil. While it heats up, finely dice your onions and garlic. Sauté the onions for a couple minutes then turn down the heat to medium.
- Add your garlic and cook down for a minute. Then add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the bison and cook until browned. Add all of your seasonings then stir in the crushed tomatoes.
- Add in the beef stock and the kidney, black, and pinto beans. Then add your corn and a little bit of your favorite salsa. Bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Then cover the pot, lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Taste and add more seasoning to your preference. Then serve with cheese, avocado, chips, green onions, sour cream, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want the consistency to be thicker, you can simmer for longer and let sit for 10 minutes off the heat to thicken up.
- If you only have ground beef on hand, just replace the bison with it!
