Ingredients:
Ground JJ Bison (4lbs - ~>4oz per person)
Provolone cheese (we used 1/2 slice per serving)
1/2 cup Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons garlic cloves, finely chopped
Green peppers, thinly sliced
White onions, thinly sliced
16oz Brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
In a large pan, cook the ground bison until it reaches 165F. If needed, drain the bison (I typically do not need to drain my ground bison).
Add the Italian seasoning and garlic to the ground bison and stir.
Divide the ground bison into individual containers.
In the same pan you cooked the bison, add 1 tablespoon of oil, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, then remove and divide into individual containers.
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil, green peppers, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook until the peppers are soft but still firm, then remove and divide into individual containers.
