Slow Comfy Chili Bowl

Slow and Comfy Chili

This recipe looks like a lot of work but only takes 20 minutes to prep, all in one pan BTW and then off to the slow cooker. Sauté your onions and celery, brown your ground beef right afterwards, open your cans, rinse and drain, measure your spices and literally toss it all into your slow cooker - set on low and go! Use our A2 Grassfed Ghee or Domestic Grassfed Ghee in this recipe. See Ghee Gal Tips below for a meat source.

  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef; browned ahead of time
  • 2 tablespoons Simply Ghee; divided
  • 1 cup onion; diced
  • 1 cup celery; diced
  • 1 cup sweet bell peppers; use assorted colors
  • 4 - 5 garlic cloves; minced
  • 1 24 oz. jar strained tomato juice; or 2 10.75 oz. cans of tomato puree
  • 2 15 oz. cans dark red kidney beans; drained and rinsed well
  • 2 15 oz. cans cannellini beans; drained and rinsed well
  • 1 15 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1.5 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1.5 tablespoons dried basil
  • 1.5 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons Redmond's Real Salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce; optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of Ghee in a sauté pan. Add the onions and celery and sauté until onions are translucent. Add the peppers and garlic and continue to sauté till the peppers are a bit soft. Toss into the slow cooker.
  • In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of Ghee, place the ground beef in the pan, breaking up the beef into pieces as you stir. Once the beef is browned, toss it into the slow cooker.
  • Rinse all canned beans well. Add the beans, entire can of tomatoes, the pureed tomato juice and all your seasonings: chili powder, red pepper flakes, parsley, basil, oregano, salt and pepper (and hot sauce if using).
  • Mix well, cover and cook on low for 6 – 8 hours. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • Before serving, stir in 1 generous teaspoon of Ghee into each bowl. It adds an incredible rich and savory taste.

Notes

Ghee Gal Tip:  Force of Nature meats are our preference.  Reason being the animals are all raised on regenerative farms and therefore carry a much higher level of nutrients. Their Ancestral Blends (Cow, Venison, Bison) include the heart and liver of that animal, which BTW is not all that noticeable on your palate, if you're sensitive to organ meats. 
The ground meat is also very fulfilling. 
A bowl of chili along with a small fresh salad and some crusty bread will take your hunger away and keep you satiated for a long time.  Serving it this way should feed at least 6.  Great for leftovers too!
