Sauté ground bison in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking up clumps with back of spoon until browned, about 7 minutes.

Add tomatoes with juices, beans, chili seasoning mix, onions, green peppers and brown sugar. Bring chili to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened to desired consistency, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For added heat use your favorite hot sauce.
