Whole 30 Chili

Whole 30 chili is really just chili without beans, not that beans are terribly unhealthy but they do take longer to digest then most carbs and can play havoc on your digestive system. Using a baked sweet potato as your carb will provide you with more energy and complements great to a spicy chili. This also has fresh garlic and bone broth which of course is always a BIB plus!

I would double this if you want lots of leftovers or want more of a soup. When topping the potato, you dont need quite as much chili. Also, try topping your chili with avocado or guacamole and avoid the sour cream and cheese😀. Tostones on the side are ALWAYS a good option too!

1 lb grass fed ground beef
1 small onion chopped
3 fresh garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 cup of chopped sweet peppers
1 can tomatoes with chilis
3 cups bone broth
1-1 1/2 tbsp chili powder (depending on desired spiciness)
2 tbsp Tomato paste
Himalayan salt to taste

1. Brown meat with garlic, onions and peppers. Drain fat. 
2. Add all other ingriedients and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about a hour for the flavors to merry. 

Enjoy!
