Paleo Beef Chili
A warm bowl of my Veggie Packed Paleo Beef Chili is perfect any time of year! It’s inexpensive and easy to make, so it’s a great meal to have for dinner during the week. Plus, the zesty spices are great for colds and chilly weather… hey, they don’t call it “chili” for nothing! My favorite part is that while this chili is a hearty meal, it’s also a lightened up version of the chili you’re used to eating. The veggies take away the heaviness, so instead of a super starchy bean and meat chili that weighs you down, you can eat a big bowl and still feel amazing afterward!
It’s Loaded With…
- Beans
- Cauliflower
- Ground Beef
- Onions
- Peas
- Spices
Time Saver
No one wants to be stuck in front of a stove for hours waiting for dinner to be ready during the week, so simple meals are a necessity! The best way to make food that’s quick AND healthy? Use frozen and canned vegetables.
