Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef (grass-fed)
• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes (no added sugar)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups beef bone broth or stock (unsweetened)
• 2.5 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 2 tbsp green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil or olive oil.

Step 2

Once hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen the flavors.

Step 6

Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef bone broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Allow the chili to simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions, if using.
