Chili With Buffalo Meat - Home, Home on the Range! image

Generally, I think the leaner the ground beef, the less satisfying the chili. But I've hit upon this idea for using ultra-lean ground buffalo as the base for this very satisfying chili. It's vaulted to my favorite chili concoction of all. Enjoy!
