For another comforting and warming paleo dinner, make this paleo beef stew next!
Ground meat: Any ground meat works well in this recipe – ground chicken is a tasty, lower calorie option, but you can purchase ground pork, ground beef, or ground turkey. Other ingredients: Cooking oil, onion, garlic cloves, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, bell peppers, carrots, celery, sweet potato, and a can of crushed tomatoes, Garnishes: Dived avocado, cilantro, sliced green onions. Optional: Fish sauce adds a ton of depth to the chili. If you have it on hand, we highly recommend you use it.
Extra veg: Add cubed butternut squash, turnips, or beets. Chop up some cauliflower or broccoli, add a handful or two of spinach, or throw in some chunks of zucchini. Added nutrition: Use store-bought or homemade bone broth for depth of flavor and a boost of nourishing nutrition, or add some scoops of collagen powder. Spicy: Add jalapeños or chipotle peppers for heat and smokiness, or red chili flakes. Fresh herbs: We love the cilantro on top, but parsley works great, too! Cocoa powder: A little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder deepens the flavor to add complexity. Extra protein: Add chopped bacon or Italian sausage to the initial stages of cooking for another layer of meatiness and savory depth. Spices: Ground coriander pairs well with the cumin and chili powder, and a little bit of turmeric adds earthy notes and provides anti-inflammatory properties. Nutritional yeast: If you want to add a cheesy flavor without the dairy, sprinkle over some nutritional yeast.
Bulk out your chili with some cauliflower rice, or make dinner time even heartier with a serving of roasted mini potatoes or roasted acorn squash. And afterward, enjoy these paleo molten chocolate lava cakes!
