Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili Recipe

Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili (Serves 4–6)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 preferred for fat content)

• 8 oz thick-cut bacon, chopped

• 1 lb beef stew meat or chuck roast, cubed small

• 1 cup beef bone broth (homemade or store-bought with no additives)

• 2 tbsp beef tallow (or bacon fat)

• 1 tsp sea salt (optional, to taste)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional – omit if strict carnivore)

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional if doing keto-carnivore)

🥘 Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:

   • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy.

   • Remove the bacon and set aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pot.

2. Sear the Stew Meat:

   • Add beef tallow (or more bacon fat) if needed.

   • Sear the stew meat cubes until browned on all sides. Don’t overcrowd the pot—do it in batches if necessary.

   • Remove and set aside.

3. Brown the Ground Beef:

   • Add ground beef to the pot. Brown it thoroughly, breaking it up as it cooks.

   • Once browned, drain excess liquid if too greasy (or leave it in for richness).

4. Combine Meats & Simmer:

   • Return the bacon and stew meat to the pot.

   • Pour in beef bone broth.

   • Season with salt and optional pepper or paprika.

   • Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Slow Simmer:

   • Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

   • If the broth reduces too much, add a bit more bone broth or water.

6. Optional Thickening (Gelatin boost):

   • For thicker texture, dissolve 1–2 tsp beef gelatin in warm water and stir into the pot during the last 15 minutes.

7. Taste & Adjust:

   • Add more salt or bacon fat to taste before serving.

🔥 Serving Suggestions:

• Eat as-is, piping hot.

• Serve topped with extra crispy bacon or a fried egg.

• Pair with melted cheese or sour cream if doing keto-carnivore.
