Buffalo Hump Chili

3 lb. ground buffalo (bison)
4 TB vegetable or olive oil
2 medium onions
3 cans (10 oz.ea.) Rotel diced tomatoes, undrained
4-1/2 TB New Mexico chile powder
1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1-1/2 tsp. paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced
Water
3 fresh poblano peppers, chopped
Juice of 1 fresh lime

Brown the bison meat in a large pan. Bison is lean and clumpy, so add oil and break it up as you brown it.

Add finely chopped onions and garlic. When onions are clear, add tomatoes and spices. Add water to about an inch depth, and simmer until meat is tender, adding water as needed.

Add chopped poblanos for last 20 minutes of simmer, and stir in lime juice before serving.

You’re really gonna be surprised! Note: 1 or 2 cans of rinsed, drained kidney beans may be added.
