    Can I subsitute the bison for ground beef or ground turkey?

    Yes, you can definitely substitute ground turkey or beef. We just try and keep things a bit more interesting by mixing it up.

    This is one of my all time favorite recipes so far. I love the flavors and by using cumin I don’t notice that there are no beans. :D

    I made this last night and have to say that it was great. Followed the recipe to the T and it came out perfect. I will be making this one again.

    I’ve been doing the Paleo diet for about two weeks and I have heard that you’re not supposed to use salt from my crossfit trainer. However, in the recipe it calls for salt…so I’m a bit confused. Is it really up to the person? I’d like to abstain from using salt, can you recommend any other spice besides salt that might still leave this dish tasting good? Thank you so much for your help!

    Salt is definitely one of the fringe items on the Paleo scale. I know many paleo “scholars” (to use the term lightly) who use very small amounts of Sea Salt. Others won’t touch it, so it’s really a personal decision. But if you want to avoid it, try making a salt substitute of your own, like this one. Just tasty herbs and powders from your spice rack, and should help make savory food more interesting.

    Tried this chili tonight: WOW! YUMMO!!! My non-paleo husband even liked it! I added 1/2c chopped fresh white mushrooms & 1/2c chopped fresh yellow & red bell pepper to make up for the lack of beans. Thanks!
