JAMIE COLBY’S BACK HOME BOLOGNESE
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground bison
¼ c. olive oil
4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can diced low-sodium tomatoes
1 can low-sodium black beans
1 jar low-sodium tomato sauce (Franco Rinaldi recommended)
1 bag fresh spinach
1 pint sliced mushrooms

Garnishes:
Fresh basil for the bolognese
Grated cheese and diced scallions for chili and nachos
Tortilla Chips for nachos

Instructions:
Spray an extra-large deep fry pan with olive oil spray, and then add the olive oil, garlic, onions and peppers. Cook until softened. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Once cooked, add mushrooms, black beans and then the ground bison. Chop bison apart with a spatula. Add the spinach and tomatoes and allow to simmer covered. Check frequently. The bison is so lean it cooks quickly. Stir frequently.
