Best Ever Healthy Beef Chili

Ingredients:

• 2 large carrots, diced

• 3 large stalks of celery, halved and diced

• 2 bell peppers, diced

• 1/2 white onion, finely diced

• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 jalapeño, finely diced

• 2 lb ground beef (or protein or choice)

• 2-3 tbsp chili powder

• 1/2 tbsp oregano

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 1 can organic corn, drained and rinsed

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 24 ounce can of diced tomatoes

• 2-3 cups @kettleandfire bone broth (or broth of choice)

Directions:

1. Heat 2 tbsp oil (olive or avocado oil) in large pot over medium heat.

2. Add carrot, celery, onion, peppers, garlic and season with salt & pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

3. Add ground meat and sauté for another 3-5 mins, breaking up the meat into small pieces throughout.

4. Add the spices and more salt & pepper.

5. Add beans, corn, tomatoes and broth.

6. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 mins.

7. Add the juice of 2 limes at the end.

8. Optional: use an immersion blender to blend about 2 cups of the chili or carefully remove 2 cups of the chili to a regular blender. Blend until smooth and return to the pot. This gives the chili a “simmer all day” texture. Totally optional.
