Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 white onion, diced
2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 yellow), diced
1 pound ground bison
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
4 slices white American cheese
Pickled jalapenos and/or sliced dill pickles, for topping
Sweet potato chips, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bison, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet; cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chile powder and garlic powder and cook, stirring to coat, about 1 minute. Add the ketchup, mustard and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and remove from the heat.
- Arrange the bun bottoms on a baking sheet and top with the meat mixture; top each with a slice of cheese. Add the bun tops, cut-side up, to the baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Top the sloppy joes with pickled jalapeños and/or pickles and the bun tops. Serve with sweet potato chips.
