Beanless Crockpot Chili Recipe Ingredients
Start with grass-fed organic ground beef or turkey and super-fresh veggies. Add something a little unexpected, like kale, to boost the nutrition and enhance the flavor as the chili slow cooks. A dash of fresh jalapeno, not canned, will help layer some heat without that processed taste.
Then choose your spices. Don’t be afraid to add something extra to the traditional chili seasonings.
A little bit of cinnamon adds a slight sweetness, goes nicely with beef, and cuts the bold spice of the jalapeno for those who prefer a little less heat. You will never miss the beans in this chili, and leaving them out makes this recipe perfectly suited for low carb, paleo diets as well as Whole30 and 2B Mindset plans.
Prep time is about 10 minutes which makes this chili perfect for a fix-it-and-forget-it dinner or a delicious meal prep week.
