Beef & Bison Chipotle Chili
This Beef & Bison Chipotle Chili is super simple to make but has so much flavor. The chipotle peppers give a spicy kick that takes this chili to another level. It is low carb and WW friendly and is perfect for any night of the week.
My family loves chili and I make different versions constantly. We love all-meat chili and chili with beans. What do you prefer? I prefer without beans, but it depends on the mood I am in. This recipe happened because I had both ground beef and ground bison from ButcherBox in the freezer that I needed to use up. But the great thing about chili is that you can use whatever ground meat you want.
Many of you know that I am on a 100 lb+ weight loss journey and am currently following the WW (weight watchers) green plan. This recipe (as is) is 7 points on the green plan. You can easily save points by using only ground turkey (5 points). These calculations do not include toppings, but there are so many point friendly options.
