Chipotle Chili

Submitted by: Tarah Chieffi

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 lb ground beef (or ground meat of your choice)
1 lb spicy italian sausage (if you can’t find ground, use the sausage links and remove the sausage from the casings)
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 large tomatoes, diced
2 tbsp chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup water or chicken broth

Instructions: Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Once hot, add the ground beef and sausage. When the meat has browned, add the chili powder, cumin and coriander. Mix well with the browned meat and cook for about 1 minute.

Stir in the garlic and onion. Cook until the onion is translucent (4 or 5 minutes).

Add the diced tomatoes and chipotle peppers, salt and pepper and stir well. Bring to a simmer, then transfer to the crock pot with 1 cup of water or chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Garnish with cilantro, avocado, or toasted pumpkin seeds (or all three!)
