Paleo Chilli

Paleo Chili

This is another amazing recipe from my friends Josh and Janae. If you don't already follow them on Facebook you should. Their page is called Dreamfit and they post great workouts, fitness inspiration and recipes!  

I apologize for not having pictures I started making this recipe planning on blogging it and got half way through when I realized I had forgotten to take pictures. At that point it was too late. But honestly it's so easy you won't need my horrible pictures anyways. After I ate it I was really disappointed with myself for not taking pictures, but oh well so be it. Now I used a pound of ground beef instead of the ground chicken because my husband isn't a fan of ground chicken or ground turkey. And as you know us Paleo people don't do beans so I knew if I left out beans from the chili AND used ground chicken he wouldn't touch it. But I would use the ground chicken or turkey if I was making it for myself. Also I found an all natural nitrate/nitrite free Cheddar Jalepeno Chicken Sausage that was amazing. But I really think you could use whatever kind of sausage you choose and it's going to turn out great. And lastly this Chili recipe is spicy. So if your not too keen on spicy chilli cut back on the Cayenne and Chili Powder.  I topped it with crumbled Goat Cheese and it was so yummy!  Other then that go make this Chili!  It's is so freaking yummy and very filling!  It will be a staple in my house now :)

Ingredients:

-1 lb ground Chicken browned

-1 lb Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage

(You can use 2lbs of ground chicken if you don't want to use sausage)

-1 chopped Onion

-3 Cloves Garlic

-1 (14oz) can Diced Tomatoes

-1 (15oz) can Tomatoe sauce

-1 (28oz) can Crushed Tomatoes

-3 Tbsp Chili Powder

-1 Diced Jalepeno

-3 Tbsp Oregano

-1 Tbsp Basil

-2 tsp Cumin

-1 tsp Sea Salt

-1 tsp Onion Powder

-1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Garnish with Feta Cheese, Goat Cheese, Advacado or whatever you would like. 

In a pan sautée the onions and Garlic and ground chicken until chicken or beef is brown and cooked thoroughly. Drain excess fat.   In a crock pot add meat mixture, the chopped up sausage and all other ingredients and mix well. Cook on low for 1-2 hours or longer if you want. Stirring occasionally. Garnish and serve.

Enjoy!
