Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground bison may use ground beef
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter ghee, or your favorite cooking fat
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 24 ounces tomato puree or tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups or 12 ounces water tip from my mom: just fill the tomato puree jar halfway up
- fresh cilantro for garnish
- fresh jalapenos for garnish
- chopped purple onion for garnish
Instructions
- Place a large heavy-bottomed pot (like enameled cast iron) or simply large pot over medium/high heat. Add the ground bison, break it up with a spoon, and stir until it's completely browned. This may take about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ground meat to a separate bowl, leaving the drippings behind in the pan.
- Add the butter to the pan and then the chopped onion. Saute until the onions are translucent and then add the garlic. Keep cooking until the onions start to develop a slightly brown color.
- Return the ground meat to the pan, stir to combine, and then add the seasonings. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the spices darken in color slightly.
- Add the tomato puree and water, stir to combine, and let simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until some of the water has evaporated off.
- Serve over the base of your choosing and garnish as you like!
