2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ancho chilis
2 lbs. ground meat (see notes)

Add the ground meat to the pan and let it cook until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the bell peppers, carrots, celery, sweet potato, crushed tomatoes, and (if using) the fish sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 pounds grass-fed ground beef, I used leaner beef with 5% fat
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed, I used Spicy Italian from Trader Joe's
½ pound bacon, ensure it's sugar-free to stay Whole30 compliant
2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cups beef stock, homemade or compliant brand, use bone broth for an even richer taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1½ tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
In a different pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Crumble and add to stock pot. Cook the chopped onion and pepper in the bacon drippings for about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add to the stock pot.
To the stock pot, add in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef stock. Season with garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and other spices if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste.
Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day. Serve with onions and crumbled bacon or whatever chili toppings you prefer!
