I love myself a good paleo chili–really, I do. But I’ve always preferred chili with beans in it. Although if you ask a true Texan, beans in your chili are sacrilegious. But guess what? I’m not from Texas, and I’ve always preferred pintos or Great Northern beans thrown in there, probably because I’ve always had chili with beans since I can remember.
Getting over-eating my paleo chili without beans was not as hard as I expected, especially when it tasted this good. Using two different kinds of ground meat is absolutely critical. If you want to switch it up, feel free. But I’d recommend keeping one of their ground beef. Try ground pork sausage; that would be quite tasty.
