Recipe: Grass-Fed Beef Chili

Chili is a healthy, protein packed food that is perfect this time of year. It can be made with grass-fed beef or venison, and these ingredients are typically easy to find organic. 

Here is our go to recipe:

• 2 lbs. grass-fed ground beef (or venison)
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 15 ½ ounce cans red kidney beans, drained
• 1 28 ounce can tomatoes, cut up
• 1 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder

Cook the beef and onion until the meat is browned, drain off excess fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes (undrained), green pepper, celery, tomato past, garlic, salt and chili powder. 

Cover and let simmer for 1 - 1 ½ hours, stir occasionally. Makes 10 - 12 servings. If you want to make in a crockpot instead, cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.

(If a less thick chili is desired, substitute one 8 ounce can tomato sauce for the tomato paste and do not drain the kidney beans.)
