Paleo Chili

Paleo Chili
 


I usually just wing this recipe, but a friend asked for the recipe, so I'll do my best. Hope it doesn't disappoint Corey!

1 1/2 lb Organic Grass fed Beef
1/2 to 1 lb of Fresh Pork Sausage
8-10 slices Nitrate free bacon (chopped into small pieces)
2 Cans of Organic diced Tomatoes
1/2 to 3/4 of a chopped onion
1/2 cup (or so) thinly sliced/chopped carrots
2-3 chopped or pressed cloves of garlic.
1 can black olive (optional)
Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Cumin, dash of Oregano, Salt, Pepper, to taste
Arrowroot, just enough to thicken Chili, if needed.

In a large pot, add bacon and onion, saute together until onion is translucent. Add garlic saute for a few minutes (careful not to burn the garlic)
Add pork sausage and beef, continue cooking until all meats are done.
Add the cans of diced tomatoes (and olives, if using them) Add all spices and simmer on low for 30 - 60 minutes. The longer the low simmer, the more the flavors fuse together.

Makes about 4-6 average size bowls of Chili.

A Huge Thank you and shout out to Jennifer Maltby and her blog: The Unrefined Kitchen
Jennifer has loads of great Paleo Friendly Recipes, including this one!
 
 
Just a little note:
I found the thicker the crust, the more bread like it is toward the middle and tends to absorb the liquid from the sauce. Easy remedy was to spread the crust a little thinner and bake a little longer the first go around.
 
Enjoy!
