Recipe Tips
- It’s important to remember that beans such as kidney beans are legumes and are considered not paleo-friendly. To replace the beans, I used large diced carrots, but you can use anything you like or simply not replace them at all.
- The longer the cooking time, the better the flavors will be. I sometimes make chili in a slow cooker as the flavors are so much better.
- You can drain some of the excess oils and fluids after step four. It will help make the chili con carne a little healthier and less greasy.
