Ingredients

6 slices Thick cut bacon
1 lb Ground pork
2 1/2 pounds Ground beef (80/20)
1 medium yellow onion (about 5 ounces)
2 small Green bell peppers (about 8 ounces after seeds and stem)
2.50 tsp Minced Garlic (or 5 large cloves)
5 Tbsp Organic Tomato Paste
2 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 Cup Organic beef stock
1 1/2 Tbls Chili powder
3 tsp Ground cumin
2 tsp Pink salt
1 tsp Ground pepper
3 Bay leaves (optional)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
40 drop stevia (optional)

Instructions

Heat up a large cast iron pot or dutch oven on medium heat with coconut oil in it.
Dice up the bacon and add to pot with coconut oil. Cook until fat is rendered. Don't overcook the bacon, it should be soft.
Add ground beef and ground pork and cook most of the way through. Make sure you break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks.
While meat is cooking, dice the onion and green pepper. If you are using fresh garlic, mince up the cloves.
When meat is almost fully cooked, add green pepper, onion, garlic Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for a few minutes until peppers and onion soften up
Add all spices and beef stock. Stir to combine well. Some people like a sweet and spicy chili, if so, add stevia with the spices. If you like a heartier chili, eliminate 1/2 cup of stock
Turn heat to a simmer and cover. Allow to cook for 1-2 hours. For a thicker chili, simmer with lid off for at least 30 minutes.
Serve with cheese and sour cream

Notes

You can substitute 2 Roma (plum) tomatoes for the tomato paste. We prefer the tomato paste. It can also be eliminated all together for lower carb chili but to us, its just not as good.

When we can find it on sale, we like to use 70/30 ground beef instead of the 80/20. If you choose to do that, eliminate the coconut oil. We only add that to bring the fat macro up.
