Servings: 8
Calories: 250kcal

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs grass fed ground beef
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or greed), diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 jalapeño minced
  • 2 cloved garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar optional - leave it out for Whole30
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional - if you like it spicy
  • salt & pepper to taste (I do about 1 tsp each)

Instructions

Slow Cooker Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned.
  • Toss the beef and all remaining ingredients into the crockpot, and give a good stir to combine.
  • Cook for 6 hours on "Low" or 3-4 hours on "High".
  • Season with additional salt & pepper to taste, and serve hot with your choice of garnishes.  Enjoy!

Instant Pot Directions

  • Set the Instant Pot to "sauté" mode.  Once the metal insert is hot, add a tablespoon of cooking fat (I like avocado oil).
  • Add the beef, cooking until browned and crumbled.  Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and jalapeño, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just softened.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients (tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and spices) then place the lid on top of the Instant Pot.
  • Make sure the lid is locked and the vent is set to "sealing".  Cook on "meat/stew" (high pressure) for 10 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally.
  • Season with additional salt & pepper to taste, and serve hot with your choice of garnishes.  Enjoy!

Stovetop Directions

  • In a large skillet or saucepan, heat a tablespoon of cooking fat over medium to medium high heat.  Add the ground beef, cooking until it's almost completely browned (about 5 minutes or so).
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic, and continue to cook until the veggies are tender-crisp (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and spices and reduce the heat to medium low.  Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes while the flavors combine.
  • Serve hot with your choice of garnishes.  Enjoy!
