Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh Manitoba Bison sausage (500g)
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 cooking onion, diced
  • 2 tsp cocoa powder (10 mL)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (5 mL)

Method

  1. Prepare little meatballs with fresh sausage by squeezing sausage meat out of casings, pinching it off in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces onto a plate or sheet pan.  Cover and set aside.
  2. Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium heat.  Add peppers and onions and cook for 8 minutes, until vegetables are soft.
  3. Sprinkle cocoa powder, garlic powder, and oregano over vegetables and stir to combine. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Gently add sausage meatballs to broth and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add black beans, salsa and frozen corn.  Simmer for an additional 15 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through.
  6. Serve and garnish as desired.
