🏈 The Best Perfect Beef Paleo Chili Recipe for a Sunday Afternoon Watching Football
This easy recipe is full of good for you ingredients that you probably aren't used to in a traditional chili recipe. I added sweet potato and zucchini to bump up the nutritional intake of this nourishing one pot paleo recipe.
🥣 Ingredients to Make the Best Paleo Beef and Sweet Potato Chili
- Ground Beef - I like to use a lean version 95%, but feel free to use 80% if you don't mind draining extra fat.
- Zucchini - I always add as many veggies as possible, and zucchini has lots of vitamins and minerals. So, I highly recommend you add zucchini to all your recipes.
- Sweet Potatoes - You wouldn't typically think of adding sweet potatoes to a chili recipe, but this one brings out a delicious sweetness to the recipe.
- Red Bell Pepper - I like the red bell peppers because they are the sweetest. As bell peppers ripen, they change color, and the green tends to be a bit more bitter.
- Mushrooms - Anywhere I can sneak in some vitamin D rich mushrooms, I find a way. They will definitely help boost your immunity during the colder months.
- Kale - I like the curly version of kale in this recipe, because it holds up nicely and is easy to get more nutrients into your diet.
- Carrots - Please don't leave out the carrots, because they add a natural sweetness to the chili that perfectly balances out the spices in this paleo chili recipe.
- Tomatoes - Canned diced tomatoes are perfect in this paleo beef chili recipe
- Spices - I came up with the perfect spice blend to make the best chili recipe. It consists of cayenne pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and salt & pepper.
