    Ingredients

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

    Preparation

    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.
