Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili
This hearty, savory Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili is packed with rich flavors, featuring tender beef, crispy bacon, and a simple carnivore-friendly seasoning blend. It’s a perfect, satisfying meal for anyone on a strict carnivore diet. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for more flavor)
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for cooking)
- 1/2 cup beef broth (make sure it’s unsweetened and carnivore-friendly)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for added depth)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the beef tallow or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot for flavor.
- Brown the Ground Beef:
- In the same pot, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to break up the beef as it cooks, and brown it evenly. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once browned, drain any excess fat if needed, but leave a little for flavor.
- Season and Simmer:
- Add the beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using) to the beef. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.
- Add the Bacon:
- Stir the crispy bacon back into the chili, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Serve:
- Serve your Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili hot, and enjoy the rich, savory flavors!
This chili is a perfect hearty meal packed with all the carnivore goodness you need!
