Cooking Tips

Allowing the lid to remain partially open during simmering helps thicken the chili by releasing steam.
Consider substituting the kidney beans with black or pinto beans based on personal taste preference.
Bison, being leaner than most beef, provides a healthier protein option in this dish.
Using freshly ground spices enhances the overall flavor of the chili.
