Low Carb Paleo JUST PLAIN CHILI

JUST PLAIN CHILI

If you don’t have a grill feel free to cook the beef in another pan. You shouldn’t need to add any oil to cook the meat in. Make sure you drain any excess fat before transferring meat to the skillet (or not if you want the extra fat).

Makes 8 servings.

Approximate cooking time: 3 hours

Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 3 Tbs cumin, or to taste
• 1-1/2 Tbs chili powder, or to taste
