Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground Bison

  • 1 pound ground Elk (you could substitute Venison)

  • 3 cups finely chopped yellow onion

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cup dry red wine

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 tablespoon chili powder

  • 6 cloves fresh garlic

  • 4 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 4 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 4 cups (32oz.) beef broth (less-sodium)

Directions

  1. In a deep pot or Dutch oven heat the vegetable oil until it shimmers

  4. Add wine; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes.

  5. Stir in 3 cups water, chili powder, and the remaining 6 ingredients (cumin, oregano, salt, tomatoes, broth and beans); bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute.
