Crystal's Paleo Chili

The cold weather out makes me want to come home to a big bowl of chili.  This turned out delicious and really hit the spot.  It takes some time to cut everything, but it makes a really big batch that would easily feed a family of 4 for at least 2 meals.

Ingredients:

1 lb Sweet or Spicy Italian Sausage
2 lbs ground grassfed beef
1 Onion, chopped
1 Bell Pepper, chopped (I used red)
1 Large Yellow Squash, chopped
6 Carrots, diced
6 cloves of garlic
1 14 oz can organic diced tomatoes with juice (check the label)
16 oz organic chicken broth
4 Tb Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
4-5 Tb Chili Powder
2 Tb Dried Oregano
2 Tb Dried Basil
1 Tb Cumin

Directions:

Saute veggies in olive oil for 1-2 minutes, then add meat and brown.  Add all spices, tomatoes and broth and simmer for 35 minutes.  Taste and add more seasoning if desired.  Add sliced avocado and bon appetite!
