Many of us today might be making our own grand migration across the country on a family road trip, just like the buffalo moved across the great plains. Sitting down for a bite to eat at an all-American diner, you've surely come across chili from menus to Super Bowl Sundays.
Buffalo chili is a healthier, tasty meat without any game-meat flavor. The texture actually works better than beef in chili as well.
This chili recipe uses buffalo, or bison meat, instead of the usual ground beef. Buffalo chili is lower in fat and calories than chili made with beef since the buffalo is a leaner animal.
