Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound ground bison

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chili-ready diced tomatoes

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 2 teaspoons chili seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground bison in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Place cooked bison in a slow cooker. Add chili beans, diced tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, cumin, chili seasoning, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; mix to combine. Cook on Low, 6 to 8 hours.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  4. Drain the macaroni and add to the chili in the slow cooker for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
