Buffalo Chili

  Buffalo Chili
2 lbs ground buffalo
1 c. chopped onion
3 cloves garlic
2-4 T. pork fat
2 c. canned chopped tomatoes 
4 T. chili powder
1t. dry oregano
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. salt
1 c. water

Brown buffalo with chopped onion and chopped garlic, in fat.  Then add chopped tomatoes, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and salt.  Add water, then simmer the mixture for at least 2 hours, until the meat is very tender and the tomatoes cook in the sauce.  4 hours is not too much, but check to make sure it doesn't go dry.


I have recently learned that I LOVE buffalo meat.  So, when I came across this chili recipe that uses ground buffalo I knew I had to try it - and I am so glad I did.  This bean-less chili tasted amazing and was so easy to make!  I know it was good when I claimed the leftovers before Dean.  I had it the next day and it was just as great warmed up!  Perfect cold weather food that I will be making many more times this winter.
