Carnivore Chili

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.

In a cast iron skillet, brown all the ground meat in batches. Salt to taste.

Notes

FAQs

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!
