My husband entered a Chili cook off at work. Tomorrow is his day for competition so we are making his chili tonight. I thought it would be great to share with all of you! This is a Primal recipe, although we have added beans (which are not primal for some people) so just omit them if you don’t want them. We used venison for our chili that my husband, Mike, shot himself. You can also use grass fed beef or bison too!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do….and cross your fingers for Mike’s Chili Cook-Off!!!
