Paleo Chili – Paleo On A Budget


Ingredients:
• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 medium onion
• 4 carrots
• 1/2 medium sized bag green beans
• 1/2 medium sized bag pepper strips
• 1 28oz can Crushed Tomato
• 1/2 28oz can Tomato Puree
• 4-5 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tbsp thyme & Oregano
• 1.5 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1.5 tsp salt & crushed red pepper flakes, cracked pepper
• 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions:
• Dig out the crockpot
• Chop up your onions and carrots {share a few pieces of carrots with the puppy or kids!}. I like bigger pieces in my chili but cut them to however you like it.
• Chop up your chicken, toss that in with the ground beef {this is where you’d add in steak or sausages if you wanted to}
• Layer on your frozen veggies.
• Spices go in next, then give it a mix, you want to coat the meat in the spices before the tomatoes go on!
• Now your tomatoes. I also took the can and rinsed it out.  Filled it like 1/4 the way up, to loosen the chili and get all the extra sauce out.
• One last stir, cover… let it go for as long as you can.  On high 4 hour min. on low 6-8 hour min.}

  1. 159 g carbs for entire recipe. This one is tricky bc of the measurements....I calculated 2 C green beans and 2 C peppers. This probably makes about 8 good size servings at about 20 g per serving.
