Printable Recipe

Do you like beans in your chili? If you're like my husband, you don't. It's plain and simple; beanless chili means the entire pot gone in 2 days. Chili with beans lasts a lifetime around here. AHH! In order to make my husband's tummy satisfied for quick lunches during the week, he asks me to make this chili recipe along with my paleo chicken "noodle" soup.

My prep time is like 2.2 seconds and the cook time is about 1 hour from start to finish. Your standing-around time may be 8-10 minutes. Not too bad for a quick, one-pot meal, huh?

Adapted recipe from The Clothes Make the Girl.

Ingredients:
2Tbsp cooking oil (I chose coconut oil or olive oil)
2lbs. ground beef (or ground meat of choice)
2Tbsp chili powder
2Tbsp cumin
1tsp oregano
1tsp allspice
1tsp salt
1 large white onion diced
4oz. tomato paste
28oz. crushed tomatoes
1cup water or enough liquid to cover the meat/sauce

Directions:
In a large pot, add hamburger meat and onions and cook through. Once thoroughly cooked, add the spice mixture and stir until combined. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 1-2 hours. I usually simmer 1 hour and it tastes great. (I can't wait too long when good food is cooking.)
Do not drain the liquid that's produced when the meal/onions cook. It's keeps the healthy fat in the dish and adds great flavor. Promise!

Spice Mixture

Give this recipe a try.. I promise, if you like beans, you won't miss them here and if you hate beans .. your tummy will thank you!

Eat and enjoy!
