SLOW COOKER PALEO CHILI

By Jeff Dupuis

With the colder weather upon us, nothing warms the body like hot, slow cooked comfort food. Here is my favorite fall recipe for delicious paleo chili. 

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours in Slow Cooker

Ingredients: 
​8 stalks of celery
4 green onions
2 green peppers
2 yellow peppers
2 orange peppers
4 oz. spinach
2 cans of diced tomatoes
½ a white onion
6 oz. mushrooms
3 ½ pounds of lean ground beef

---

Step 1: fully cook ground beef in a giant pan with olive oil
Step 2: dice all the vegetables
Step 3: lightly sauté mushrooms, onions, peppers, celery in olive oil  

Step 4: Empty both cans of diced tomatoes in the slow cooker and turn the slow cooker on high
Step 5: add the cooked beef to the tomatoes (optional, add pasta sauce to thicken the chili.)

Step 6: add the spinach on top of the beef, it will take up lots of room until it starts to steam so don’t worry about space
Step 7: add sautéed veggies to the mix as well as the green onion and your favorite spices, we used garlic salt, vegetable, Cajun oregano and rosemary.

Step 9: set timer for 4 hours and stir occasionally if possible

Step 10: Enjoy!
