Carnivore Chili

Jump to Recipe

Chili is one of those recipes that is an absolute must during the Fall, Winter, and Spring since here in the PNW the rain season lasts quite long. When it came time to create a carnivore chili recipe that my family liked, I realized the number of cuts and meats in recipes online were not enough. Chili with just beef? No, thank you. I wanted something that was going to fill us up, taste amazing on the palate, and have a bit of a dirty carnivore element to make it hit home a little bit more.

Enter, my style of carnivore chili: 72-hour pork bone broth, smoked pulled pork, stew beef, ground beef, ground bison, ground pork, sea salt, and tomato paste. It was heaven! Every bite was like angels singing in the heavens and our bodies buzzed from the heavy amino acids content. Topped with sour cream and parmesan shavings, this dish nourished us from the inside out and had us sleeping like a baby after a cold rainy day. The green, green pairing came later.

When it came time to pairing it with cannabis, Dirty Hippie came to mind due to the spicy and earthy herbal terpenes and flavonoids but also its name. The nice thing about this Indica dominant hybrid is that it produces a mild euphoria that is perfect for balancing mood and increasing the desire to be social. It also helps with migraines for those who suffer from the debilitating condition. Paired with meat, just yummy! It brings a nice balance to the chili and adds a little flair that is very enjoyable.

What You Will Need to Make Carnivore Chili:

  • Pork Bone Broth
  • Pastured Smoked Pulled Pork
  • Grass-Fed and Finished Beef Stew Meat
  • Grass-Fed and Finished Ground Beef
  • Grass-Fed and Finished Ground Bison
  • Pastured Ground Pork
  • Sea Salt
  • Tomato Paste and Dirty Hippie Strain (Optional)

Equipment:

  • Large Crockpot
  • Wooden Spoon

Substitutions:

  • Any strain substitute for Dirty Hippie. When preparing this recipe, I would recommend pairing strains that possess earthy, fruity, and spicey terpenes and flavonoids. The following hemp cultivars would be ideal: Hashplant and Headband. If you do not have access to these strains, then use your nose and taste buds to find other cultivar’s that have similar smell and flavor profiles.

Dirty carnivore chili: 72-hour pork bone broth, smoked pulled pork, stew beef, ground beef, ground bison, ground pork, sea salt, and tomato paste.

Ingredients

  • 32 Ounces 72hr Pork Bone Broth

  • 1 Pound Pastured Smoked Pulled Pork

  • 1 Pound Stew Meat Grass-Fed and Finished Beef

  • 1 Pound Grass-Fed and Finished Ground Beef

  • 1 Pound Grass-Fed and Finished Ground Bison

  • 1 Pound Pastured Ground Pork

  • Sea Salt

  • Optional Ingredients
  • Dirty Hippie Cannabutter 1 tablespoon

  • 16oz Tomato Paste

Directions

  • In a cast iron skillet, brown all the ground meat in batches. Salt to taste. If using cannabutter, add to the pan first.
  • Brown the stew meat.
  • Dump the browned ground meat and stew meat into the crockpot with the bone broth. Next, add the smoked pulled pork.
  • Add the tomato paste if desired. Be sure to dissolve the paste into the bone broth mixture in the slow cooker.
  • Slow cook on medium, covered, for 5 hours or until the chili has thickened. The chili can go 8 hours if you are working and wanting to “set it and forget it” for when you get home for dinner.

Notes

  • Cannabis is technically not strict Carnivore; however, I see plants as medicine as long as they are extracted correctly and used only when needed. Some may view this as “Dirty Carnivore”.
  • Using tomato options is not strict Carnivore. However, if you are transitioning onto the Carnivore lifestyle, adding these “dirty carnivore” elements will help you make the switch with ease.

FAQs

Can I make these without weed?
Of course! These recipes taste amazing both infused and not!

What is the best salt to use?
Any sea salt will do! Redmond’s Sea Salt, Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, and Celtic Sea Salt are all great choices! I personally use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt that I cut myself with Iodized White Sea Salt.

How to Store Dirty Hippie Carnivore Chili
It is recommended to keep the chili in a glass container like a mason jar with a proper fitting lid. Plastic will oxidize and leach out chemicals in the presence of tomato sauce.

How Long Does It Last?
The Carnivore Chili will last up to 5 days in the fridge by itself for maximum freshness!
