Spicy Paleo/Primal Chili

Who doesn't love chili on a chilly winter day? By popular demand here is the Paleo recipe that goes with the pic I posted on facebook a couple days ago. I like LOTS if heat so there are lots of peppers. Feel free to adjust according to you taste :-)

• 2 lbs ground beef chuck
• 1 lb ground pork
• 1/2 package bacon, chopped
• 4-5 carrots, sliced into bite sized pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 2 habaneros, diced

Directions~ 
 
Brown the meat (ground meats & bacon) on medium high heat until bacon starts to cook and meat is no longer pink. About 5 minutes Drain most of the excess grease off.

Add all vegetables to the pot (carrots through garlic) and continue cooking until veggies start to soften. About 5 minutes more.

Add spices (Chili powder through salt & pepper) and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 more minutes.

Add canned tomatoes, coffee, and broth to cover. Stir well and bring to boil. Once boiling lower heat to a gentle simmer and let it cook for at last another 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Garnish with avocado, plain yogurt, more sliced hot peppers and cilantro if desired.

ENJOY :-)
