Ingredients

• 1 small onion, quartered
• 1 red bell pepper, quartered
• 2 tbsp. EVOO
• 1 lb. ground bison
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 2 cups no-salt-added tomato puree
• 1 1/2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. coarse salt
• 3 whole wheat hamburger buns, split

Preparation

Step 1

Using a food processor, coarsely chop the onion and bell pepper.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the onion-pepper mixture and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the bison, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until it loses its redness. Stir in the chili powder. Add the tomato puree, brown sugar, vinegar, worcestershire and salt. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Spoon over the bun halves and serve open-face.
