Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut bacon into 1/4-inch pieces. Add bacon to a cold large pot. Heat the pot over medium-high heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and crispy, 4-6 min. Remove the pot from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon fat in the pot.
While bacon cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onion. Drain, then rinse kidney beans.
Heat the same pot (from step 1) over medium-high. When hot, add bison. Cook, breaking up bison into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 min. Add peppers, Paprika-Cumin-Garlic Spice Blend and half the BBQ Seasoning, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, constantly, until fragrant, 30 sec.
Add beans, broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, half the bacon, maple syrup and 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 8-10 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
While chilli cooks, arrange tortillas in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the middle of the oven until tortilla chips are warmed through, 3-4 min. Remove tortilla chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle with remaining BBQ Seasoning.
Divide chilli between bowls. Sprinkle cheese, remaining bacon and green onions over top. Serve with spiced tortilla chips for dipping.
