I love cooking with bison because it is so much healthier than other red meats. It has less cholesterol and less fat than even chicken and at the same time it is loaded with Omega fatty acids that are so good for us. For our family Super Bowl weekend, I created this Native American inspired Bison Skillet Fry.
Ingredients:
1 cup baby bella mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 medium poblano chile, chopped
1 pound ground bison
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 cup corn kernels (steamed if using fresh corn or defrosted if using frozen)
Vegetable oil, salt, pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes or until onions start to brown. Add poblano and cook for another few minutes. Remove from the skillet and place in a bowl.
To the skillet, add ground bison, and fry, stirring frequently to break into pieces, for about 2 minutes. Add mushroom-onion-poblano mixture, tomato sauce and corn to the bison, mix well, and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve with homemade Indian Fry Bread. You can eat the fry bread on a side or you can pile the Bison Skillet Fry on top of the bread, serving it as a Indian taco.
