Bean-less Chili

The Ingredients:

2 - 3 lbs grass fed ground beef

7 - 10 celery stalks, diced (I use one whole celery bunch, leaves and all)

6 - 10 carrots, diced

1 white onion, diced

6 cloves garlic, minced

4 TBSP Olive Oil

2 16 oz cans of diced tomatoes (homemade would be best but can is fine)

16 oz chicken broth (homemade is best)

2 big pinches of sea salt

2 TBSP dried Oregano

2 TBSP dried Basil

1 TBSP cumin

3 - 4 TBSP Chili Powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper

2 TBSP Almond Butter





The Directions:

Saute veggies in olive oil for about a minute and add meat and brown.  Season the meat mixture with all the spices.  Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and simmer for 35 minutes.  Taste and add more seasoning if desired.  





Let me tell you --- it was tough not having beans in my chili or topping my chili with sour cream.
