PALEO CHILI
Paleo (eating like our pre-agricultural revolution ancestors ate) chili is made without beans. In the west we typically include beans, but I think even non-paleo eaters will enjoy this deep smoky flavorful chili. This is best made a day ahead so the flavors can meld together. Serve with green onions and sour cream.

PALEO/PRIMAL CHILI
This recipe is based off of the Bison Chili recipe found in The Primal Blueprint Cookbook by Mark Sisson (www.MarksDailyApple.com). I have made it several times and have only varied the recipe a little. This recipe does not have beans in it as many other chili recipes do and I prefer it w/o the beans. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan (at least 4 quart size) or Dutch oven, over medium heat, cook bacon for a few minutes until slightly brown and some fat has been rendered out.
- Add chopped onion to the pan and stir into bacon. When the onions are semi-translucent, add garlic and stir. Cook a few minutes longer.
- Add ground beef/bison to pan and cook over medium -low heat until brown (cooked) throughout and no pink remains. Drain if necessary without losing onions and garlic (if lean ground beef or bison is used, should not need to drain).
- Add spices, water/broth, tomatoes and carrots and stir well to combine.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to prevent sticking.
- Add vinegar and cocoa powder and stir well then simmer uncovered for another 20 minutes. Taste and season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
- *After everything has "cooked," I like to let this chili cook for several hours on a low temperature. I tastes wonderful and makes your whole house smell yummy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the meat. Grass-fed beef or bison is a great choice.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chili peppers. A variety of peppers will give your chili a more complex flavor.
- Toast the spices before adding them to the chili. This will help to release their flavor.
- Simmer the chili for at least 2 hours, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Paleo primal chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover meat. With a few simple ingredients, you can easily make a delicious chili that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give paleo primal chili a try.
