Directions: |
Directions:In large saute pan, melt butter in two tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic and saute for 8-10 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Pour this into a large slow cooker.
Heat the pan to medium high and add the remaining oil. Add sausage meat, ground beef, and ground bison meat and cook until meat has browned. Scrape all of this into the slow cooker with the vegetables.
Add all other ingredients to the slow cooker except the lime juice, cheddar, and crackers.
Stir, cover and set slow cooker to LOW and cook for 5 hours.
Stir after 5 hours and add lime juice into the chili.
To serve, dish out into bowls, top with cheddar cheese, and serve with the saltine crackers. |

Notes: I found this recipe on Pinterest. I have no idea who Glenn is. But I entered this recipe in a chill cook-off at Erlanger Christian Church in Kentucky and it won second place, so it truly is award-winning.
I like to use loose Italian sausage when I can, whether it's hot or mild. It's less messy than squeezing out meat from the casings.
If you can't find or don't want to pay $10 for a pound of ground bison, just use more ground beef instead.
Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients. It's just vegetables, meat, tomato paste and sauce, beans, and seasonings.
